I have over three years of experience operating various sanitation equipment, including street sweepers, garbage trucks, and pressure washers. In my previous role, I was responsible for maintaining cleanliness in urban areas, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations. I am proficient in performing routine maintenance checks and troubleshooting minor mechanical issues to ensure equipment operates efficiently.

Safety is my top priority. I always conduct pre-operation inspections to ensure equipment is in good working condition. I adhere to all safety protocols, such as wearing PPE, following traffic laws, and maintaining clear communication with team members. Additionally, I stay updated on safety training and guidelines to minimize risks and ensure a safe working environment for myself and others.

Once, while operating a street sweeper, the brushes malfunctioned mid-shift. I quickly identified the issue as a jammed debris compartment. After safely stopping the equipment, I cleared the blockage and performed a quick inspection to ensure no further damage. I reported the incident to my supervisor and documented the issue for future reference. This experience reinforced the importance of regular maintenance and quick problem-solving.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency, route efficiency, and environmental factors. For example, I focus on high-traffic areas early in the day to minimize disruptions. I also consider weather conditions, such as rain or snow, which may require adjustments to the schedule. Effective time management and clear communication with my team help me ensure all routes are completed efficiently and to a high standard.

After each shift, I thoroughly clean the equipment to remove debris and prevent buildup. I perform routine maintenance tasks, such as checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses and belts, and lubricating moving parts. I also document any issues or repairs needed and report them to the maintenance team. Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the equipment remains in optimal condition and extends its lifespan.
