Driven by Purpose, Powered by People

At CEO, we believe you’re more than just an employee; you’re part of a team with a purpose and a meaningful mission. Every team member plays a vital role in restoring hope, helping communities recover and rebuild.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a skilled Equipment Operator to support field operations in disaster recovery environments. This role is responsible for operating excavators and skid steers to load, move, and manage debris and materials in support of project execution.

Perform site clearing, grading, and material movement activities.
Inspect equipment daily and report maintenance or safety issues.
Follow project plans and supervisor instructions to complete assigned tasks.
Ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, and company safety standards.
Maintain equipment cleanliness and operational readiness.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in disaster recovery or environmental services.
OSHA certification (10 or 30-hour).
Experience operating multiple types of heavy equipment.
CDL license preferred.

What to Expect

This is a field-based role working at active project sites with changing conditions. Work involves long hours, travel, and exposure to weather and debris environments. You will work closely with a team under tight timelines where safety and adaptability are essential. Flexibility is required to support evolving operational needs.

Physical Requirements and Environment

Ability to lift and move up to 50 pounds with or without reasonable accommodation.
Willing to wear PPE, including a hard hat, protective eyewear, and steel-toed boots.
Ability to work in adverse weather and field conditions.
Exposure to heavy equipment, moving machinery, and varying terrain.
Commitment to following safety standards and protocols.

Why Join CEO?

At CEO, you won’t just have a job, you’ll have a mission. Your work will directly impact the speed and strength of community recovery after disasters.

We offer:

A collaborative, mission-driven culture.
Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
The chance to make a lasting difference for communities across the U.S.

Work Authorization

Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire. Ceres does not sponsor employment‑based visas for this position unless stated otherwise.

E-Verify: We comply with Federal law by verifying employment eligibility.

Minimum Qualifications:
