About The Position

Do work that matters—Wilson's hiring Septic Drivers who take pride in keeping systems running right. Let's be real—this isn't glamorous work. But it's essential work. When a septic system backs up, it's not just an inconvenience. It's a crisis. Families can't flush toilets. Businesses can't operate. And you're the person who fixes it. As a Septic Driver at Wilson, you'll operate tanker trucks and pump systems that keep Northeast Ohio homes and businesses running. You'll troubleshoot problems, communicate solutions, and leave customers relieved—literally and figuratively. This job takes skill, safety awareness, and a thick skin. If you've got a CDL B, a strong work ethic, and the ability to stay calm when things get messy, we should talk.

Requirements

• High school diploma/GED
• CDL Class B License (non-negotiable)
• Clean driving record
• Able to pass drug testing
• Can lift 50-75 lbs and work in all weather conditions
• Comfortable with physically demanding work (digging, climbing, tight spaces)

Nice To Haves

• Experience in septic, plumbing, piping, or grading (preferred but we'll train the right person)
• You're a self-starter who doesn't need constant direction
• You have strong customer service skills—even when customers are stressed
• You understand safety protocols and take them seriously
• You're reliable and flexible when emergency calls come in
• You can work independently but know when to ask for backup

Responsibilities

• Drive tanker trucks safely to customer locations across Northeast Ohio
• Pump septic systems and grease interceptors efficiently and thoroughly
• Use equipment to locate tanks when they're not obvious
• Troubleshoot system issues and communicate clearly with customers about what they need
• Dig to access tanks when necessary—sometimes the easy route isn't an option
• Follow all county and city dump site regulations to the letter
• Maintain accurate dumping logs and FOG (fats, oils, grease) reports
• Keep your truck clean and professional—even in this line of work, presentation matters

Benefits

• Competitive pay that reflects the skill and responsibility this work requires
• Full benefits package: Health, dental, vision, life insurance (we cover 70% of family premiums)
• 401(k) with 3% match
• Two weeks PTO after 90 days plus 7 paid holidays
• $1,500 yearly training credit
• Job security: Septic systems don't stop needing service. Ever.
