Want to live in the mountains AND make serious money? If yes, read on:
Bear Claw Land Services gives you steady, high-paying work across Grand County and the Colorado Front Range while you ski, ride, hike, and live the mountain life on your days off. We're the crew that keeps properties safer and healthier through professional tree and land clearing — and we do it with the right equipment, the right standards, and zero drama.
Why Join Our Team?
At Bear Claw, you can keep that mountain lifestyle AND stack paychecks. Here's what you get:
- Pay: $30–$35/hr (DOE — top operators earn more, in line with crew lead and forestry equipment tech pay)
- Professional, well-maintained equipment and organized ops (no chaos, no guessing)
- Growth path: more responsibility and higher pay with performance and certs
- Travel note: We primarily work in Grand County
Who This Job Is For
You've got real seat time running heavy equipment and you can mobilize it safely between sites. You live for the outdoors — mountains, snow, and honest work. This is an equipment-first role: we already have guys who run saws and climb. We need someone who lives in the cab.
- You deliver 5-Star Service: pride in your work, attention to detail, clean finishes.
- You have Integrity: safety, honesty, and quality always come first.
- You're a Team Player: you've got the crew's back, take direction, and step up when needed.
- You're Efficient: you hustle without cutting corners.
- You chase Excellence: you're never satisfied with "good enough."
Mountain communities rely on safe, professional land work — we're the crew that protects homes, property, and people.
What You'll Do
- Operate heavy equipment: forestry mulchers, skid steers, excavators, mini-excavators, and loaders
- Mobilize and transport equipment between job sites safely and legally
- Haul equipment and materials with truck and trailer
- Site prep, clearing, grading, and cleanup
- Maintain and make field repairs on equipment; keep machines inspected and ready
- Travel within Grand County (and the Front Range as jobs require)
Requirements
- Valid driver's license + clean driving record
- CDL Class A or Class B (automatic-only restriction is OK)
- Proven experience operating heavy equipment
- Equipment mobilization / hauling experience
- Able to pass a drug test and background check
Qualifications
- Do you have a CDL A or B? (Required — automatic-only restriction is fine)
- Do you have a driver's license & reliable transportation? (Required)
- Do you have U.S. work authorization? (Required)
