Position Overview:
Are you looking for a seasonal role where you can stay active, work outdoors, and be part of a dedicated team that makes a real difference when winter weather hits? At JMC, our work goes beyond clearing snow—we remove dangerous snow and ice buildup from the tops of tractor-trailers before those trailers return to the road, using specialized equipment to help reduce the risk of snow and ice coming off moving trailers and creating hazards for other motorists.
As a Facility Technician, you will work at one location which is a specific distribution center nearest to you. Working as part of a team, you’ll perform hands-on snow and ice removal services on an average of approximately 100 trailers per day, helping ensure services are completed safely, efficiently, and to JMC’s standards.
Your responsibilities will include operating a scraper system, directing traffic through the service area, documenting completed services, and performing other hands-on snow and ice removal tasks. When ice is present, team members will work from a secured platform and use a long-handled mallet to physically break up ice buildup on the tops of tractor-trailers so the scraper system can remove it. This can be labor-intensive work requiring repeated physical effort; however, team members work together and rotate responsibilities throughout the service to help distribute the physical demands of the job. Depending on your experience and qualifications, you may also have the opportunity to operate snowplows and/or front-wheel loaders.
This is a weather-dependent, physically demanding position where teamwork, flexibility, communication, and attention to safety are essential. If you're dependable, comfortable working outdoors, ready to work when winter weather hits, and looking to be part of a team that makes a difference, join JMC's winter team and help make the roads safer.
We’re looking for team members with various skill levels and experience, including:
- Snowplow Operators
- Front-Wheel Loader Operators
Key Responsibilities:
You’ll work as part of a team, rotating responsibilities throughout the service to safely and efficiently remove snow and ice to help keep the roads safe:
- Operate Scraper System: Work outside on a platform operating a snow scraper machine.
- Break Up Ice: When ice is present, work from a secured platform and use a long-handled mallet to physically break up ice buildup on the tops of tractor-trailers, allowing the scraper system to remove it.
- Direct Traffic Flow: Guide drivers as they move through the scraper system.
- Snowplow Operation (for qualified operators): Operate pick-up truck with V-Blade snowplow to remove snow from around the scraper systems (only for qualified snowplow operators).
- Heavy Equipment Operation: For qualified operators, use front-wheel loaders with TrucBrush attachments or buckets to safely and efficiently remove snow and ice from tractor trailers.
- Document Service: Keep accurate records for each trailer serviced, including taking photos and filling out required paperwork.
- Responsive Communication: Because our work is weather-dependent and schedules can change quickly, timely and responsive communication is essential—both during scheduled work hours and while off duty when coordinating upcoming work.
- Reliability: Exceptional availability, attendance, and punctuality are critical.

Operations Technician Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a operations technician in New York?
The most common path is completing an associate degree or certificate program in industrial technology, mechanical systems, or a related field at a New York community college, followed by entry-level technician work. Some roles in energy and utilities require a New York State Department of Labor-recognized credential or completion of a registered apprenticeship program. Employers in life sciences manufacturing often require GMP training completed before or during onboarding.
Which companies hire operations technicians in New York?
Companies currently hiring operations technicians in New York include JMC Enterprises, ROBOT, and LotusWorks, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's concentration of large utilities, hospital systems, and pharmaceutical manufacturers means steady, ongoing demand for operations technicians across the state.
Which New York cities have the most operations technician jobs?
Albany, New York, and Malta have the most operations technician openings in New York. New York City dominates because of its dense concentration of large hospitals, utility infrastructure, and commercial facilities, while Buffalo and Albany draw consistent demand from manufacturing, energy, and state government operations anchored in those regions.
Are there remote operations technician jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Operations technician work is largely hands-on and site-dependent, so most roles require a physical presence. About 17% of operations technician openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how site-bound the role is by nature. The portions most likely to support remote work are data monitoring, reporting, and process documentation tasks.
How can I get hired as a operations technician in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a registered apprenticeship through a New York State Department of Labor-approved program in building systems, utilities, or industrial maintenance. Large New York employers like Con Edison and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey run structured entry-level and apprentice programs for candidates without direct technician experience. Lateral moves from adjacent roles such as maintenance helper, facilities assistant, or production associate are common first steps, and any hands-on certification in electrical, HVAC, or mechanical systems strengthens a candidate's profile considerably.
