Weekend Disaster Relief Cdl Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Disaster Relief – Virginia Beach, VA

Bring Help. Bring Hope. Be Ready to Go.

When disaster strikes, people need more than supplies – they need someone willing to step in, serve, and help communities begin to rebuild. Operation Blessing (OB) is looking for a Deployment Technician to join our Global Disaster Relief team. This is a hands-on, mission-focused role for someone who thrives in challenging environments, stays calm under pressure, and is ready to respond when the call comes. You’ll support disaster-response operations in the field, lead and train volunteers, coordinate logistics, assist with cleanup and rebuilding efforts, and help ensure our teams and equipment are ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. Serving in this position facilitates ministry activities and contributes to OB’s Biblical mission to extend a helping hand in Christ’s name to meet physical and spiritual needs.

If you have a heart for serving others, strong leadership and problem-solving skills, and the practical experience to get things done when conditions are far from ideal, this could be an opportunity to use your skills for something that truly matters.

The salary range for this position is $50,000 - $53,000 annually. Final compensation within this range will be determined based on a combination of education, relevant experience, and demonstrated skills aligned with the role requirements.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support disaster response efforts from preparation to recovery, deploying domestically or internationally as needed to coordinate logistics, support field operations, and help communities rebuild. Between deployments, you’ll focus on training, preparedness, and maintaining the resources and equipment needed for a rapid response.
