  • Perform daily equipment inspections, routine maintenance and report defects
  • Follow site safety plans, complete site-specific orientation, and maintain clear communication with supervisors
  • Travel to job sites across Georgia, the Florida panhandle and Alabama and perform multi-day assignments when required
What we're looking for
  • Proven experience operating bulldozers and excavators on civil construction sites
  • Hands-on experience with GPS machine control systems and GPS rovers
  • Ability to operate graders, loaders, skid steers and dump trucks as job needs dictate
  • Basic heavy equipment maintenance and pre-shift inspection skills
  • Comfortable with regular travel and multi-day job site assignments across GA, FL panhandle and AL
  • Commitment to safe work practices and following site-specific safety procedures
Qualifications
  • Valid driver's license; CDL preferred if assigned to haul/dump truck duties
  • Experience with GPS machine control systems (required)
  • OSHA 10-hour construction safety card or equivalent preferred
  • Ability to pass a drug screen and background check
  • English required; Spanish a plus
What we offer
