🚛 Driver / Helper – Grow Your Career with GFL Environmental

Drive Some Days. Ride and Load Others. Learn It All.

Want more than just a job?
At GFL Environmental, we don’t just collect waste — we power communities, protect the environment, and create real career paths.

We’re hiring a Driver / Helper who’s ready to work hard, learn fast, and grow into a skilled equipment operator. If you want hands-on experience, steady hours, and the opportunity to master rear-load and side-load trucks, this is your shot.

🔄 What You’ll Do

This isn’t a one-lane role — it’s a career-building opportunity.

On any given week, you may:

  • 🚛 Drive collection routes safely and efficiently

  • 💪 Work as a Helper, riding routes and servicing customers

  • 🛠 Learn to operate rear-load and side-load trucks

  • Perform pre- and post-trip inspections

  • Deliver excellent customer service at every stop

  • Work as part of a tight-knit, safety-focused team

You’ll gain real skills that lead to long-term growth in the environmental services industry.

🌱 Why This Role is a Game-Changer

This is more than a Driver. More than a Helper.

It’s a training ground for future operators.

At GFL, we invest in our people. You won’t be stuck in one position — you’ll build experience across equipment and operations. If you’re motivated, there’s room to grow.

💰 What’s In It for You

  • Competitive pay

  • Consistent, full-time hours

  • Overtime opportunities

  • Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision)

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Paid time off & holidays

  • Stable, essential industry

  • Clear pathways for advancement

Garbage collection is recession-resistant. Communities rely on us every single day.

🔎 What We’re Looking For

  • Valid driver’s license (CDL preferred or willingness to obtain)

  • Ability to lift, push, and pull heavy materials

  • Strong work ethic and reliability

  • Safety-first mindset

  • Team player attitude

  • Desire to learn and grow into equipment operation

Experience in waste, construction, landscaping, or physical labor is a plus — but attitude and effort matter most.

🌎 Why GFL?

GFL Environmental is one of North America’s leading environmental services companies. We operate locally but think big. We protect the environment while providing stable careers in the communities we serve.

🚦 Ready to Roll?

If you'd like, I can also:

  • Make this more gritty and blue-collar

  • Shorten it for Indeed

  • Or tailor it to a specific city or pay range

Just tell me the location and vibe you're going for.
