Well-maintained equipment, organized materials, and reliable vehicles are essential for Banner Environmental’s crews to start each day ready for the work ahead. As Assistant Warehouse Manager, John Humphreys helps manage the flow of equipment and materials that support crews across a wide range of environmental service projects. He also plays an important role in monitoring and coordinating vehicle maintenance, ensuring the company’s fleet is dependable and job-ready. Through his work in the warehouse, crews leave prepared to operate efficiently and support Banner’s commitment to safety, preparedness, and professional execution on every project.
What John appreciates most about working at Banner is the people. He describes the team as one of the best parts of the job, noting that the positive atmosphere makes coming to work enjoyable each day. That strong sense of teamwork carries into daily operations, where warehouse staff collaborate closely to support field crews and solve problems as they arise. John values being part of a group that works together toward common goals and takes pride in helping the broader team succeed.
Working in a fast-moving environment means that every day brings its own challenges. For John, the key to overcoming those moments is teamwork and open communication. Rather than tackling problems alone, he believes the best solutions come from the warehouse team collaborating to find the most effective path forward. His advice to anyone entering the environmental services industry reflects that mindset: depend on your team. No single person can do everything on their own, and strong collaboration is what keeps projects moving forward.
Outside of work, John enjoys unwinding by gaming—particularly Fallout 76. He also has a fascinating connection to history: he is a 14th-generation descendant of John Alden, one of the passengers aboard the Mayflower. Looking ahead, John hopes to continue expanding his knowledge in the field while also checking off a few major travel dreams, including visiting Hawaii and seeing the Great Pyramids.
