Full Job Description

Job Title: Heavy Equipment Operator (Irrigation & Infrastructure Specialist)

Company: New Consolidated Lower Boulder Reservoir and Ditch Company

Location: Boulder County

Reports To: Ditch Superintendent / General Manager

Position Summary

As a Heavy Equipment Operator for New Consolidated Lower Boulder, you are the frontline defender of our water rights and delivery systems. You will operate specialized machinery to maintain hundreds of miles of unlined and lined canals, laterals, and drains.

This isn't a flat-pad construction site. You’ll be working on narrow easements, navigating steep canal banks, and managing delicate water levels where a two-inch mistake can mean a dry field for a shareholder or a flooded basement for a neighbor.

Core Responsibilities

Precision Excavation: Utilize long-reach excavators and backhoes to desilt canals and reshape prism walls without compromising the structural integrity of the bank.
Structure Installation: Excavate, set, and backfill water control structures, including headgates, flumes, weirs, and large-diameter RCP (Reinforced Concrete Pipe).
Bank Stabilization: Execute rip-rap placement and compaction to prevent erosion in high-flow transition zones.
Vegetation & Debris Management: Clear "trash" (organic debris), downed trees, and invasive brush from easements using specialized attachments (mowers, grapples).
Road Maintenance: Operate a motor grader or dozer to maintain narrow ditch-rider access roads, ensuring they remain passable for monitoring vehicles during the irrigation season.
Emergency Response: Provide rapid-response mobilization for breach repairs or gate failures, often in inclement weather or high-flow conditions.

Required Technical Skills

Machinery Mastery: Proven proficiency in operating Long-Reach Excavators (30G to 85G class), Backhoes, Skid Steers, and Motor Graders.
Grade Control: Ability to read and pull grade manually or via GPS/Laser systems to ensure a consistent $0.01\%$ to $0.05\%$ slope for gravity-fed water systems.
Rigging & Lifting: Experience with trench boxes and rigging hardware for setting heavy pre-cast concrete structures.
Mechanical Aptitude: Basic field maintenance skills (greasing, track tensioning, identifying hydraulic leaks) to minimize downtime in remote locations.

Qualifications & Physical Requirements

Experience

Minimum 5 years of heavy equipment operation; 2+ years in drainage, utility, or irrigation preferred.

Licensing

Valid Class A CDL (with tanker endorsement preferred) to transport equipment between headings.

Physicality

Ability to lift 75 lbs, climb in/out of deep trenches, and walk miles of uneven ditch banks.

Environment

Must be comfortable working in extreme heat, mud, and around fast-moving water.

Safety

Deep understanding of OSHA trenching and shoring standards.

The "X-Factor" (What makes you the right fit)

You understand that in this industry, water is gold. You have the "feel" for the machine to avoid hitting buried fiber optics or old clay tile lines that aren't on any map. You are professional and patient when dealing with frustrated shareholders or curious landowners on the ditch bank. Most importantly, you show up when the headgate is stuck and the rain is horizontal.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $55,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Paid time off

Ability to Commute:

Longmont, CO 80501 (Preferred)

Ability to Relocate:

Longmont, CO 80501: Relocate before starting work (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
