Full-Time | $30–$48 per hour DOE + Overtime + Performance Bonuses

Tired of working for crews that cut corners or don’t value your skill?


You’ve spent years perfecting your craft—reading grade, digging clean, and running equipment with precision. But maybe it’s time to join a company that values safety, pride, and people who care about doing things right.


If that sounds like you, keep reading—this isn’t your typical operator job.


What You’ll Do

You’ll be a key part of our Excavation & Underground Division, running heavy equipment that keeps essential systems moving. You’ll dig, grade, trench, and backfill with precision for residential and commercial underground projects.


Daily responsibilities include:

  • Operating excavators, skid steers, loaders, and trenching equipment safely and efficiently
  • Reading and interpreting site plans, slopes, and grade elevations
  • Performing daily equipment inspections and light maintenance
  • Working safely around utilities, confined spaces, and underground systems
  • Collaborating closely with plumbers, foremen, and project managers
  • Maintaining OSHA excavation safety compliance on every site


If you take pride in clean work and a job done right the first time, you’ll fit right in here.


What We’re Looking For

  • 3–8 years of experience operating heavy machinery (excavation, utilities, or plumbing)
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean MVR (CDL preferred)
  • Able to lift 75+ lbs and perform physical labor as needed
  • Strong knowledge of trench safety, shoring, and soil classifications
  • Reliable transportation and punctuality are musts
  • Must pass background and drug screening


What You’ll Get

  • Pay: $30–$48/hour DOE + overtime + performance bonuses.
  • Hours: 40–50 per week (Monday–Saturday rotation)
  • Team culture: Safety-first, supportive, and professional
  • Growth: Opportunities to cross-train in trenchless systems and utility work
  • Respect: You’ll be treated like the pro you are—because you’ve earned it


Our Hiring Process

  • We move fast and keep it real.
  • Apply in under 2 minutes — no long forms.
  • Quick phone or video screen.
  • In-person meeting and equipment check.
  • Start date could be within a week.
