Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment

Shop Porter | Chesapeake, VA

Are you someone who takes pride in a job well done and enjoys staying busy throughout the day? Mid-Atlantic Truck & Equipment is looking for a dependable, self-motivated Shop Porter to help keep our busy shop, parts areas, and facility grounds clean, organized, and ready for the team.

This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety, giving you the opportunity to work both indoors and outdoors while supporting the technicians and the overall operation. From keeping shop areas clean and organized to maintaining the grounds, handling trash, and jumping in to help wherever needed, your work will have a direct impact on keeping the facility running smoothly.

We’re looking for someone who is reliable, proactive, and takes initiative—someone who notices what needs to be done and is happy to jump in. A background in custodial, janitorial, facility maintenance, or other hands-on work is a plus, but we’re also willing to train the right person.

If you enjoy working with your hands, staying active, and being part of a team where your work is appreciated, we’d love to hear from you!
