Junk Removal Team Member/Crew Leader Trainee

Hard Workers, Competitors & Future Leaders Wanted!

Ever worked with someone who dragged their feet while you carried the workload? Ever watched someone get rewarded the same as you despite putting in half the effort?

Yeah, we've all been there.

That's exactly why we're building a different kind of team at Lug Away.

We're looking for hardworking, motivated individuals who take pride in what they do, enjoy working with a strong team, and want to get better every single day.

Whether you're a former athlete, landscaper, mover, warehouse worker, delivery driver, or someone who simply knows how to work hard, we want to hear from you.

We believe great employees deserve to be recognized and rewarded. That's why we offer competitive hourly pay, customer tips, performance-based bonuses, and opportunities for advancement.

If you're the type of person who works hard even when nobody's watching, you'll fit right in.

This Isn't Your Typical Labor Job

At Lug Away, we help local homeowners and businesses remove unwanted furniture, junk, and other items from their properties. We make the process fast, professional, and stress-free for our customers.

Sure, there's physical labor involved. You'll be lifting furniture, loading trucks, and staying active throughout the day.

But you're not just another body doing the grunt work.

Our goal is to train every new hire to become a Crew Chief, capable of running their own daily route like a small business.

That means learning how to:

• Deliver outstanding customer service
• Safely drive and operate company trucks
• Provide estimates and sell jobs confidently
• Strategically load trucks and complete jobs efficiently
• Communicate professionally with customers
• Lead and manage a two-person crew
• Make decisions and solve problems in the field

You'll receive hands-on training and support while developing skills that go well beyond general labor.

Your First 12 Weeks

Every new hire starts at $20/hour and enters our structured 12-week training program.

During this time, you'll learn the skills necessary to become a successful Crew Chief.

Our expectation is that every team member develops into a Crew Chief. This isn't an optional promotion — it's the standard we're training you to achieve.

Once you've demonstrated the ability to safely drive, manage jobs, serve customers, and lead a crew, you'll be eligible for promotion to Crew Chief with a starting base rate of $23/hour.

From there, additional advancement opportunities are available for employees who consistently demonstrate exceptional performance and leadership.
