We are a civil contractor looking for an experienced heavy equipment operator for current and upcoming construction projects; we do site clearance, demo, grading, wet utilities. We have active projects in Grass Valley, the Arden area, and Folsom. Looking for someone who can start right away, and won't have to commute too far.
Skill set should ideally include mass/rough grading, finish grading, underground utility trench excavation/backfilling, compaction of dirt or base rock. Looking for someone strong on excavators, dozers, and backhoe; experience with dump trucks, roller compactors, motor grader, loaders, water trucks would be helpful. We own most of our own equipmentall in very good working shape, air conditioned cabs. Some of our equipment is equipped with Trimble GPS and robotics—please mention any additional experience with those systems in your reply.
Strong work ethic, attention to safety, and effective communication skills are a must. We want a team player with good attitude who pays attention to direction and works well with others. If you're willing and able to occasionally get out of the cab and help on the ground, that would be great.
We work on primarily non-union private commercial projects, usually within a 50-75 mile radius of Sacramento. Compensation will depend on experience and competency with multiple types of equipment. Expect to work a 2-3 day paid "probation" period so we can evaluate field competence before we offer a full-time position.
When responding to this post, provide a resume if available, and please include:
1) What types of equipment you have operated and years of experience with each
2) Last three employers, time spent with each, and what you did there
2) Availability to start
3) Phone number (and email if available)
Thanks for your interest
