Why Work at Lautenbach?

Our employees say they would recommend Lautenbach Recycling as a great place to work because:

• "The people! This company has done a fantastic job at recruiting & hiring for cultural fit. It's a pleasure to work with such a diverse yet unified group of people."
• "This company truly cares about their people. They are supportive to your goals and aspirations, and help you achieve them. Working for a company with a lot of flexibility in where you can end up is an amazing perk."

The Company:

In 1991, brothers Troy and Torrey Lautenbach started a small company in Bellingham, Washington to recycle construction waste. 30 years later, Lautenbach Recycling is one of the region’s premier employers and the largest family-owned recycling company in Washington State. We are actively looking for team members that are looking for more than just a job and desire to be part of our growth and future.

The Position:

We are searching for a hard-working and motivated person who enjoys working outdoors to join our operations team as a yard hostler/jockey. The perfect candidate will enjoy working in a fast paced, very physical environment in which moving roll off boxes and trailers, dumping materials from boxes and setting up trucks are part of your daily duties. We are an active construction and demolition recycling facility so being comfortable around equipment such as excavators and loaders is essential. This position is a great avenue to gain experience and confidence for new CDL holders or those looking to obtain a CDL in the future. We are hiring for this position because our previous yard hostler is now driving full time in our fleet division. We are always looking for new drivers and are eager to promote from within. The schedule is somewhat flexible but generally falls within the hours of 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. A CDL is not required for this position. Pay range is $20/hour - $23/hour, DOE.

If this sounds like fun, we’d love to talk to you!
