  • Establish drainage and slopes according to project instructions.

  • Install and spread gravel, soil, and mulch; assist with sod and other landscaping.

  • Work carefully around buildings, utilities, sidewalks, and neighboring properties.

  • Inspect equipment daily, grease and maintain it, and report problems promptly.

  • Coordinate with the superintendent, plan your work, and communicate progress.

  • Help with handwork, cleanup, and other field tasks needed to complete the job.

Qualifications:

Must-haves

  • Demonstrated experience operating both skid steers/compact track loaders and mini excavators.

  • Ability to complete grading and drainage work with limited supervision.

  • Safe operating habits and respect for equipment, utilities, and property.

  • Dependable attendance, reliable transportation, and clear communication.

  • Willingness to work outdoors and perform both equipment operation and hands-on fieldwork.

  • Experience using a laser level, operating additional equipment, or safely transporting equipment is a plus. Tell us about any applicable licenses or certifications.
