• • Load/unload material, move spoils, and assist with site hauling and material placement
• • Use GPS navigation/GPS rover and grade-control systems to follow plans and grade stakes
• • Complete pre- and post-shift equipment inspections and perform basic hydraulic/diesel troubleshooting; report major defects

• • Proven experience operating dozers, loaders, motor graders and excavators on civil/site development projects

• • Valid driver's license, reliable transportation to the jobsite, and ability to pass a drug screen
• • Comfort working in a heavy civil construction environment with tight schedules and crew coordination

Qualifications

What we offer
