• Valid driver’s license required, CDL preferred.
• The ability to solve problems.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills.
• The ability to work well as part of a team.
• Willingness to work in non‑climate‑controlled conditions.
• Basic computer skills.
• Compliance with Penske safety and maintenance policies, DOT, OSHA, and all applicable regulations.
• Regular, predictable, full attendance is an essential function of the job.
• Required DOT driving qualifications and background checks, including drug screening.
• Willingness to travel within the district and attend training sites.
