CNC Oilfield Services is a leading oil and gas service company, providing reliable transportation solutions to the industry. We are currently seeking skilled and experienced Vacuum Truck Drivers to join our team. If you have a strong work ethic, a commitment to safety, and a professional attitude, we want to hear from you!

 

As a Vacuum Truck Driver you will be responsible for the safe operation of a truck and vacuum trailer to transport and dispose of oilfield fluids, equipment, and materials to and from designated locations. This role requires strict adherence to safety regulations, company policies, and environmental guidelines to ensure proper handling of materials, plus strong attention to detail due to the safety-sensitive nature of the job. 

 

Drivers will operate industrial vehicles, performing loading and unloading operations while maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work environment.

  • Cross-Division Support:
    From time to time, employees may be asked to provide assistance to other divisions or departments within the company to meet business demands or address staffing needs.
