East Stroudsburg University is hiring an Equipment Operator!

Just minutes from campus are the country’s largest water parks, scenic Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area, Appalachian Trail, and other opportunities for recreational fun.

As the Equipment Operator, you will need to think creatively and be comfortable operating a single-chassis truck to transport materials and equipment to and from campus maintenance and construction sites, snow removal, and cinder operations. You will be an active member of the Facilities Management team and will work closely with the Grounds Supervisor to plant and care for flowers and perform blacktop and concrete repairs. You will thrive in this role if you like combining your experience operating and maintaining large vans, buses, and single-chassis trucks and your knowledge of using hand tools and power tools. To be successful in this role, you must be responsible, safety conscious, and work well with minimal supervision.

Your normal schedule will be Wednesday through Sunday 7 am – 3:00 pm, but you may have to flex your schedule from time to time based on the needs of the business to be a true Equipment Operator. When our team shows up for work, they are energized and motivated to succeed - all while being the most crucial piece to keeping the ESU operations humming.
