Operating across the central US, EDS tackles everything from small, developmental utility blasting to drilling in some of the largest quarries in the country. Continuing to build on the foundation started in 1962, we pride ourselves on having a family-oriented business no matter how large we grow.
We are currently looking for a heavy equipment hauler for our Washington, MO office. This job will involve moving our rock drills to different job sites focused mainly in central/eastern Missouri. Most days will allow the driver to return home nightly, but being open to occasional multi-day trips is a plus.
Although no prior knowledge of operating rock drills is required, the driver will be expected to learn to operate them to the extent of being able to load and unload them from the trailer. Some degree of mechanical knowledge is also required to be able to help maintain the Company's trucks and trailers.
Being open to driving/operating pump trucks for our blasting crews is also a bonus.
Responsibilities:
- Loading, chaining, hauling, and unloading rock drills and equipment.

Requirements:
