Description
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.
What You'll Do:
- 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
What You'll Get:
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. This is steady, essential work with a company that's been around since 1958.
Requirements
What We're Looking For:
Must-haves:
- 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)
What sets you apart:
- 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
Why Wilson:
We're a third-generation family business that's built on doing essential work the right way. Septic service isn't flashy, but it's honest work that communities depend on.
Our core values:
- Betterment: We train you right and give you the tools to succeed
- Accountability: We follow regulations, maintain accurate records, and do what we say
- Teamwork: When you need support, you've got it
- Transparency: We're upfront with customers about what needs to happen and why
The Honest Truth:
This work is demanding. You'll be exposed to contaminants, unpleasant smells, and all kinds of weather. You'll work more than 40 hours some weeks. You'll encounter systems that haven't been maintained properly and customers who are frustrated.
But if you're the kind of person who takes pride in solving problems others won't touch—if you want stable work with a company that values reliability and skill—Wilson might be exactly what you're looking for.
