• Equipment Care: Perform daily pre-trip equipment checks, routine fluid checks, clearing, and minor operational adjustments to keep machinery in peak working condition.
• Safety & Communication: Strictly adhere to site safety protocols and communicate clearly with dispatch and site managers regarding job completion, weather shifts, or site risks.
