Snow Equipment Operator

Experience Required : 2+ Years Experience

Umbrella Property Services is hiring Snow Equipment Operators in Mokena, IL, at $30 to $40 per hour. Plow truck drivers need two years of snow-plowing experience and a valid driver’s license our insurance provider can approve. Skid steer operators need two years in the seat. When the storm starts at 2am, you are the reason a commercial lot is clear before the first car pulls in.

• You are steady behind the wheel of a plow truck or in the seat of a skid steer, careful around curbs, parked cars, and people.
• You take pride in a lot cleared edge to edge, with no missed corners.
• You believe safety comes first, and you follow the procedures and direction your supervisor sets.
• You bring on-call availability from November through March, including nights, early mornings, weekends, and holidays, and you report promptly when dispatched.
• You bring reliable transportation and a phone you answer.
• You bring the stamina for physical outdoor work in cold, changing weather, on zero-tolerance and two-inch-trigger properties.

• We handle property services for commercial properties in Chicago and across the Chicagoland area.
• We cover several service categories for the same client, so property managers work with fewer vendors.
• We move when the weather moves. Last year the first snow came the opening weekend of November.

• Operate company plow trucks on assigned commercial routes.
• Run company skid steers for commercial snow removal.
• Clear each property to the standard that site requires.
• Follow safe operating procedures around vehicles, pedestrians, and property.
• Report to your route when dispatched, day or night.

• Plow truck drivers earn $30 to $40 per hour. Skid steer operators earn $30 to $40 per hour.
• Seasonal onsite Snow Equipment Operator work, November 1 through March 31.
• You run company trucks and company equipment, not your own.
• Starting pay reflects the position, your experience, qualifications, and assigned responsibilities.
• Strong seasonal performance can lead to spring and summer work, though seasonal work does not guarantee a year-round position. Benefits and eligibility vary by position and worker classification.

At Umbrella Property Services, we take pride in maintaining high standards — not just for our clients, but for our team. We believe in clear expectations, strong leadership, and creating an environment where dependable professionals can thrive.
