As a Yard Laborer, you will help keep propane tanks and materials moving safely through our outdoor yard operation. Depending on your daily assignment, you may:

• Help load, unload, stage, and prepare propane tanks

Terra Vest provides required rain gear and winter wear, allows additional recovery breaks during extreme weather, and suspends outdoor work during lightning.
