You'll help track hours, complete safety observation cards, and maintain a Samsara driving score above 70. You'll wrap up your day by loading equipment, recording notes, and planning for tomorrow's crew and material needs.

Some of the main tasks that our Sr. Environmental Equipment Field Operators perform are the following:

Invasive brush clearing, tree felling, planting, seeding, erosion, and sediment controls
Maintenance and mowing of solar fields through equipment operation and herbicide application.
