Rock On Development is hiring an experienced heavy equipment operator who can independently operate equipment and manage the day to day flow of a small excavation jobsite.
This is not an entry level operator position. We are looking for someone who can be given a scope of work, understand what needs to happen, coordinate one to two ground crew members, and keep the project moving safely and efficiently without constant supervision.
What You Will Be Doing
- Operating excavators ranging from compact machines through large excavators
- Operating skid steers and compact track loaders
- Operating dozers and rollers
- Managing daily jobsite operations
- Directing one to two ground crew members
- Excavation, grading, site preparation, utilities, drainage, road work, backfill and compaction
- Reading plans, understanding elevations and checking grade
- Working safely around utilities, structures, workers and other equipment
- Performing daily equipment inspections and basic operator maintenance
- Coordinating equipment, materials and manpower to maintain production
- Communicating with management, clients, subcontractors and inspectors as needed
What We Are Looking For
You should be able to show up to a project, understand the scope, develop a plan for the day and execute it.
We are looking for someone who understands the entire job, not just how to run the controls.
Applicants should have:
- Professional heavy equipment operating experience
- Strong excavator experience
- Experience operating skid steers, dozers and rollers
- Ability to work independently
- Ability to lead one to two ground crew members
- Good understanding of excavation safety and utility awareness
- Ability to read grade and understand basic construction plans
- Reliable transportation
- Strong communication and problem solving skills
- Respect for equipment and willingness to perform daily inspections
- Ability to maintain a professional jobsite
Preferred Qualifications
- Class A CDL
- Dump truck experience
- Equipment hauling experience
- Excavation grade control experience
- Previous experience leading a small excavation crew
A CDL is preferred but is not required for the right operator.
Pay
$35 to $55 per hour
Compensation is based on experience, demonstrated operating ability, leadership ability, CDL qualifications and overall value brought to the position.
Employment Structure
This is an hourly W2 position.
New hires will begin with an introductory period of up to 90 days. Scheduling during this period may be based on company workload and project needs.
Successful completion of the introductory period may lead to a more regular ongoing position.
Overtime will be paid as required by applicable law.
Benefits
Benefits are not currently available immediately upon hire.
Rock On Development is actively working toward implementing an employee benefits package. Details regarding future benefits and eligibility will be provided as they become available.
About the Position
This position is best suited for an experienced operator who takes ownership of their work.
We value operators who can think ahead, solve problems, maintain production, take care of equipment and leave behind quality work.
If you need someone standing next to you telling you every move to make, this probably is not the right position.
If you can take a project, understand the objective and make it happen, we want to talk to you.
To apply, submit your resume or a summary of your equipment experience, previous employment, CDL status and contact information through Indeed.
Rock On Development is an equal opportunity employer. Employment decisions are based on qualifications, experience, job performance and legitimate business requirements.
Pay: $35.00 - $55.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
