Heavy Equipment Operator

$24 - $29.5 per hour
Full-time

Midwest Salt

Vessels come in loaded with salt. You unload them, stockpile the product, blend it, and get it out the door to customers before the first snow flies.

You'll run Sennebogen material handlers, wheel loaders, conveyors, blending systems, pneumatic hoppers, and field unloaders. If you haven't run all of it yet, we'll train you. Grit One is a new operation, so the people here now are the ones setting how the work gets done.

What You'll Do
• Run heavy equipment safely and within spec
• Hit production targets and keep product moving
• Follow care and maintenance instructions so the equipment stays running
• Cover other roles when teammates are out
• Own your numbers and know where you stand
• Speak up when you see a safer or better way to do something

Equipment You'll Operate

  • Wheel loader
  • Wheel Bobcat
  • Material loader
  • Pneumatic and other hoppers
  • Blending system
  • Conveyors
  • Field unloader
  • Sennebogen material handlers

What You Need
• High school diploma or equivalent
• 2+ years operating heavy equipment
• Reliable transportation to our port facility

Pay and Benefits
• $24–29.50/hour, plus overtime
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k)
• Vacation and PTO
• Paid holidays
• Real advancement as the port operation scales

About Grit One
Grit One is Midwest Salt with a port address. We're the bulk salt production and storage facility at the Port of Chicago, where vessels unload, product gets stockpiled, and supply moves fast to customers who count on us.
We're still building this operation, which means every person on this team has a real hand in shaping what it becomes.
