Equipment Operations

Become proficient in the day-to-day operation and maintenance of RVMs and automated sorting equipment used in the beverage container deposit return process.
Ensure adherence to the regular and preventative maintenance procedures for all equipment in use at the facility.
Coordinate with technical support for any equipment-related issues and ensure timely resolution and escalate to a manager as needed.
Utilize pallet jacks or other equipment to move material from automation equipment to storage area and to ready material for collection by transporters.
