Work safely around pedestrians, trucks, and heavy equipment; maintain safe swing radius and load control.
Assist with yard housekeeping: remove debris, manage mud/dust control (as assigned), maintain berms/drainage.
Follow all safety and environmental rules: PPE, spill response, stormwater controls, and fire prevention procedures.
Respond to production changes, weather conditions, and shifting priorities to maintain uptime.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Forklift, dozer, or skidder experience (a plus)

Physical & Work Environment

Work outdoors in heat/cold/rain and dusty conditions
Prolonged sitting with repetitive hand/foot controls
Ability to climb in/out of equipment multiple times per shift
Exposure to noise, vibration, and uneven terrain
PPE required: hard hat (as required), safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, high-vis, steel-toe boots

Safety-Critical Expectations

Maintain three points of contact entering/exiting equipment
Use seatbelt at all times in equipment
Never swing loads over people/vehicles; maintain clear communication and exclusion zones
Stop work and report hazards/near misses immediately
