Job Description
Heavy Equipment Operator – Main Office: (Stockton) (Serving Northern CA)
$30–$45/hour (BOE)
Johnson Plumbing has been family-owned and operated since 1962, and even as we've grown across Northern California. If you're an operator first — comfortable in the seat of a backhoe/excavator all day — and don't mind traveling between job sites in the region, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Operate a backhoe/excavator as your primary, day-to-day responsibility — digging, trenching, backfilling, and grading for underground plumbing and site utility work
- Operate a loader and skid steer as needed to move material, clear sites, and support the crew
- Read grade stakes, site plans, and job specs to dig and grade accurately and safely
- Inspect and maintain equipment daily — fluids, filters, greasing, and basic troubleshooting — and flag anything that needs a mechanic
- Work safely around trenches, utilities, and an active crew, following all job site and OSHA safety requirements
- Coordinate with the foreman and crew on sequencing, staging, and daily priorities
- Help with general plumbing/laborer tasks when not running equipment (a plus, not the main job)
What You Bring
- Proven experience operating a backhoe/excavator — this is a must
- Experience operating a loader and skid steer
- Ability to read grade stakes and basic site plans
- Plumbing or underground utility experience is a plus, but the priority is strong equipment operating skills
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work outdoors in all weather conditions
- A valid driver's license and clean driving record
- Commitment to following all industry safety regulations
- Willingness to travel to job sites across the Northern CA markets
Why Johnson Plumbing
- Pay: $30–$45/hour based on experience
- Competitive pay with room to grow
- Health, dental, vision, and Aflac benefits
- Paid time off — sick, vacation, and holidays
- 401(k) options
- Eligibility for annual bonuses
- Access Perks Program benefits
Apply today and build your future with a team based in Stockton and building Northern California for over 60 years.
