About The Position

Landmark Aquatic is the nation’s leading provider of commercial aquatic solutions, offering comprehensive services in design, construction, renovation, restoration, and maintenance. With a history of excellence spanning over four decades, we are dedicated to ensuring the success of aquatic facilities at every stage of their lifecycle. With offices in key metro areas across the U.S., Landmark Aquatic is uniquely positioned to serve communities nationwide. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and service, fostering long-term partnerships built on trust, expertise, and exceptional results. We are looking for a Bulk Chemical Delivery Driver, a local delivery driver to add to our service team. We operate a 52,000lb chassis equipped with a 26-foot box truck and a liftgate. We offer the delivery of bulk chemicals to our commercial swimming pool customers within a specific territory. The ideal candidate would be able to work in our service department helping with pool service and renovation projects when not operating the truck. This is an opportunity to drive and stay local without being on the same route every day. When delivering, you will place orders with selected suppliers, pick orders according to the delivery tickets, verify your load for accuracy, assist with route planning, load and unload cargo, perform pre-trip inspections, arrange for general maintenance and maintain the cleanliness of the vehicle. You must be able to comply with all safe work practices and procedures.

No medical conditions that impair safe operation of a CMV or handling of hazardous materials are permitted unless controlled and certified by a medical examiner.
Ability to perform physically demanding tasks for extended periods (e.g., 8-12 hour shifts), including sitting for long durations while driving and performing manual labor during deliveries.
Capable of lifting, carrying, and maneuvering chemical containers weighing up to 50-70 pounds (common weight for pool chemical drums or bags) repeatedly throughout the workday.
Distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 in each eye, with or without corrective lenses (glasses or contacts), as measured by a standard eye chart.
A horizontal field of vision of at least 70 degrees in each eye to ensure awareness of surroundings while driving and handling equipment.

Adequate depth perception to judge distances when loading/unloading and navigating tight spaces at delivery sites.
Ability to hear a forced whisper from at least 5 feet away, with or without a hearing aid, in at least one ear. This ensures the driver can detect warning signals, vehicle malfunctions, or emergency instructions.
Capable of perceiving auditory cues in noisy environments, such as delivery sites or traffic.
Must maintain blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg at the time of the DOT physical exam. Drivers with controlled hypertension (e.g., through medication) may be certified, but those exceeding this threshold may face temporary disqualification or shorter certification periods (e.g., 3 months to 1 year) until controlled.
No current diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart attack, arrhythmia) that impairs the ability to drive or respond to physical exertion unless cleared by a medical examiner.
No respiratory conditions (e.g., severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) that cause shortness of breath or fatigue during physical tasks, unless managed effectively. Drivers with sleep apnea must demonstrate compliance with treatment (e.g., CPAP usage) if required by the medical examiner.

Sufficient hand strength and dexterity to secure loads, operate valves/pumps on chemical containers, and handle tools or equipment.
Ability to bend, stoop, kneel, and squat to inspect vehicles, secure loads, and access delivery points. Must climb ladders or steps on delivery trucks safely.
No severe spinal conditions (e.g., herniated discs) that prevent lifting, twisting, or prolonged sitting unless managed and cleared by a medical examiner.
Adequate motor control and reaction time to operate a CMV and respond to sudden road hazards or spills.
No diagnosis of epilepsy or seizures unless seizure-free for a period specified by FMCSA guidelines (typically 10 years off medication, though a neurologist’s certification after 3 years may be considered under proposed rules as of 2025).
No vestibular disorders (e.g., vertigo) that cause dizziness or loss of balance, critical for safe driving and handling loads.
Alertness and mental clarity to follow delivery schedules, interpret chemical safety data sheets (SDS), and comply with DOT hazmat regulations.
No psychiatric conditions (e.g., severe depression with suicidal history, psychosis) that impair judgment or safety unless managed and certified as stable by a medical examiner.
No use of Schedule I controlled substances (e.g., marijuana, even if medically prescribed) or misuse of prescription medications that impair driving ability. Must pass a urinalysis during the DOT physical to screen for illicit substances (not a drug test per se, but checks for health markers like sugar or protein).
No current diagnosis of alcoholism or dependency that affects job performance.
Ability to safely load, unload, and transport corrosive or hazardous materials (e.g., chlorine, Acid-Rite tablets) in compliance with DOT and PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) regulations.
