Heavy Equipment Operator - High-End Residential Construction


About Us

We are a high-end residential building company focused on delivering custom homes and major renovations with precision, care, and purpose.


Our work is guided by three core values:

Truth - We communicate clearly and honestly, even when it's hard.

Trust - We do what we say, take ownership, and build confidence with our clients and team.

Thankfulness - We approach our work with gratitude, respect, and a long-term perspective.


Our vision is simple but powerful:

Building With Eternal Perspective

We believe what we build--and how we build it--matters beyond the project itself.


The Role

We are looking for a skilled and dependable Heavy Equipment Operator who takes pride in their work and understands the importance of precision on high-end residential sites.


This role is not just about operating machinery. It's about contributing to a team that delivers exceptional homes where details matter and mistakes are costly.


You will play a key role in site preparation, excavation, grading, and material handling while maintaining a clean, safe, and well-organized job site.


Key Responsibilities

  • Operate heavy equipment (excavators, Dozers, skid steers, loaders, etc.) with precision and care
  • Execute site prep, grading, trenching, and backfilling to plan and specification
  • Read and interpret site plans, elevations, and layout requirements
  • Work closely with site supervisors and project managers to maintain workflow and timelines
  • Maintain equipment in good working condition and report issues proactively
  • Uphold high standards for site cleanliness, safety, and organization
  • Anticipate problems and communicate early to avoid delays or rework

If you hold a CDL Class A and Management experience, lets talk about your role as our Team Leader and the appropriate compensation for this role.


What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience operating heavy equipment in residential, commercial, or similar construction environments
  • Do you have the ability to envision a site before it begins? where grades should tie together? 
  • Strong attention to detail--understands that small errors early become big problems later
  • Ability to follow direction while also thinking ahead and taking initiative
  • Reliable, consistent, and accountable
  • Values alignment with Truth, Trust, and Thankfulness
  • A team-first mindset with respect for clients, trades, and coworkers

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not production work or volume building.


Our projects are high-detail, high-expectation environments where:

  • Accuracy matters more than speed
  • Communication matters as much as execution
  • Every team member contributes to the client experience

You won't be treated like "just an operator."

You'll be trusted to take ownership of your part of the build.


Compensation

  • Job Positions based on experience and qualifications. 
  • Salary Range 50K - 90K depending on experience and qualifications.
  • Full Coverage Health Care included.

Why Join Us

  • Work on high-end, meaningful residential projects
  • Be part of a values-driven team
  • Stable, long-term opportunity with consistent work
  • A company that respects craftsmanship and people equally
  • Quality of Life Improvement and Pay Improvement. 

Final Thought

We're looking for someone who doesn't just want a job--but wants to be part of building something that lasts.
