About this role
Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment's Chesapeake shop needs someone to keep their facility running smoothly behind the scenes. As a Shop Porter, you'd handle a mix of custodial work—sweeping floors, cleaning bathrooms, managing trash—alongside hands-on support for the technicians and warehouse teams. The role spans both indoors and outdoors, from organizing work bays and stocking supplies to maintaining grounds and performing minor facility upkeep like painting and light bulb changes. You'll also operate a forklift and company vehicles to move materials and handle local parts pickups, with training provided if you don't already have certification.
The ideal candidate is reliable and self-motivated, someone who notices what needs doing and takes initiative without waiting to be asked. While prior custodial or facility maintenance experience is valued, the company is willing to train the right person. You'll need a valid driver's license, strong attention to detail, and the ability to work comfortably both indoors and outdoors performing varied physical tasks. Good communication skills matter here—you'll be interacting with technicians, warehouse staff, and customers daily.
The position offers competitive pay from $18 to $25 per hour based on experience, plus solid benefits including medical, dental, and vision coverage, company-paid life and disability insurance, a 401(k) match, two weeks of PTO in year one, and a $200 annual boot allowance. You'll receive uniforms and a company phone, and there's an employee assistance program and referral bonus available.
