Heavy Equipment Operator
As Heavy Equipment Operator you sit in the cab that makes every cubic meter count-safe, precise, on schedule-so our mining, earthworks, and construction crews can keep delivering for clients who trust us with their most demanding sites.
Performance Objectives
- Complete assigned earthmoving, grading, and extraction cycles 10-15 % faster than site baseline while recording zero lost-time incidents each month.
- Maintain 95 %+ equipment availability by performing daily inspections, reporting defects immediately, and executing first-line servicing on CAT, Komatsu, and similar machines.
- Achieve design grades and cut/fill tolerances within 2 cm on 90 % of surveyed sections, reducing rework and fuel waste.
- Support urbanization and hydraulic projects by coordinating with surveyors and civil teams to place material exactly where drawings specify, first time.
- Log every shift in the digital work-order system so superintendents have real-time production data for client reporting.
Environment & Resources
You report to the Site Superintendent and work alongside a tight crew of operators, mechanics, and surveyors on active mining, road, and construction sites. You have access to well-maintained heavy plant, GPS machine-control systems, and a dedicated maintenance team. Safety gear, fuel, and consumables are supplied; you own the cab and the outcome.
Essential Qualifications
- Proven ability to operate excavators, dozers, loaders, and graders on mining or heavy-civil projects for at least four years, with documented production records.
- Track record of zero preventable incidents over the last 24 months and fluency with daily pre-start checklists.
- Comfort reading grade stakes, GPS screens, and basic construction drawings.
- Willingness to work rotating shifts
