Summary 
We are hiring multiple Heavy Equipment Operators for earthwork construction projects, with primary focus on excavators, dozers, and front-end loaders. We have several openings at various experience levels and are looking for candidates with a range of backgrounds, from operators growing their hands-on equipment experience to experienced professionals skilled in fine grading, finish work, and GPS machine control.

In these roles, you will support earthwork and site development operations by safely operating equipment, maintaining productivity, and helping deliver quality work in the field. Depending on your background and the position level, responsibilities may include production earthmoving, fine grading, finish grading, GPS-enabled machine control operation, and working closely with crews and supervisors to meet project goals.

What We’re Looking For
  • Experience in construction, earthwork, site development, or heavy equipment operation.
  • Ability to safely operate in changing field conditions.
  • Strong safety awareness, reliability, and the ability to follow directions and work as part of a crew.
  • For higher-level openings, experience with fine grading, finish grading, grade stakes, and GPS machine control is strongly desired.
  • Valid driver’s license required; CDL is preferred for some positions.
Candidates from Varied Backgrounds Encouraged to Apply

  • If you have experience operating excavators, dozers, or front-end loaders, or if you have strong related sitework experience and want to grow into one of these roles, we would like to hear from you.
