Yard Technician I
About The Position
As a Yard Technician I, you support safe, organized yard operations by loading and unloading equipment, maintaining work areas, and learning basic inspection and equipment-preparation practices. This is an introductory, hands-on role with opportunities for development. The position is based at the NTE Beaumont Branch Location, with minimal travel and no company-vehicle driving unless authorized. You will handle rental equipment and materials under direction, operate forklifts and approved material-handling equipment after authorization, and help keep storage areas, travel lanes, and equipment lines organized. You will assist with cleaning, visual inspections, and basic equipment preparation while learning to identify and report damage, missing components, and maintenance needs. You will also support Yard Technician II employees, berm technicians, mechanics, and drivers as assigned. The role involves participating in hands-on training, following work instructions, and building knowledge of pumps, tanks, boxes, hoses, and yard processes. Safe work practices include using required PPE, following lifting, forklift, traffic, and housekeeping procedures, and requesting assistance or team lifting for loads that cannot be handled safely. Success is measured by safe equipment handling, clean and organized yard areas, accurate reporting, progress in equipment and safety training, reliable attendance, and teamwork. National Tank & Equipment (NTE), part of the Power Technique division of Atlas Copco, provides rental equipment solutions for demanding industrial operations.
