Experienced Heavy Equipment / Land Clearing Operator — $25–$40/hr
I am looking for an experienced heavy equipment operator for land clearing, forestry mulching, brush removal, storm/flood cleanup, and dirt work projects throughout Texas.
We are looking for someone who is highly experienced, dependable, productive, and takes excellent care of equipment. This is not an entry-level operator position.
Pay
$25–$40/hour
We are willing to pay at the top of the range for the right operator who can work independently, produce quality work, and treat our equipment like their own.
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of heavy equipment operating experience preferred
- Strong CTL/skid steer experience
- Excavator experience
- Forestry mulching and land-clearing experience is a MUST
- Grapple and tree/debris removal experience
- Dirt work and grading experience is a major plus
- Ability to safely work around trees, heavy brush, uneven terrain, and storm/flood debris
- Strong mechanical awareness
- Ability to perform daily equipment inspections, greasing, and basic preventative maintenance
- Able to recognize potential equipment problems before they become expensive repairs
- Dependable and able to work independently without constant supervision
- Takes pride in producing clean, professional work
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- CDL and equipment-hauling experience are a plus
- Must be willing to travel for projects when needed
What Matters to Us
Equipment care is extremely important. We take excellent care of our machines and expect our operators to do the same.
We would rather hire an experienced professional and pay them accordingly than put an inexperienced operator in our equipment.
We are looking for someone who understands that being a great operator isn't just about moving material quickly—it's about working efficiently, safely, protecting the equipment, and leaving behind quality work.
Hiring Process
Qualified applicants should be prepared to discuss the specific equipment they've operated, the type of clearing/grading work they've performed, and their previous experience.
Final candidates may be asked to complete a paid working evaluation before being offered the position.

- Years operating equipment
- Machines/attachments you are experienced with
