Shape the Earth with Precision and Skill
Are you a seasoned Heavy Equipment Operator who can turn a bulldozer into an artist’s brush and an excavator into a surgeon’s scalpel? We’re seeking a Civil Construction Specialist to master heavy machinery and strategically execute complex earth-moving projects. This isn’t a role for someone who’s only dabbled with a forklift or tractor—this is for professionals with hundreds of hours of experience and a passion for civil construction.

•Collaborate with site supervisors, engineers, and crews to deliver high-quality results.
•Conduct routine equipment inspections and basic maintenance to keep projects on track.
What You Bring
•Experience: 500+ hours operating heavy equipment (e.g., excavators, bulldozers, graders) in civil construction. Forklift or basic tractor experience doesn’t cut it here.
•Civil Construction Skills: Proven expertise in earth-moving, terraforming, or grading, with a knack for precision.
•Strategic Thinking: Ability to plan and execute tasks efficiently, adapting to site challenges.
•Safety Focus: Strong knowledge of OSHA regulations and a zero-compromise approach to safety.
