We are hiring an experienced heavy equipment operator based in Gay, GA to run bulldozers and excavators on civil construction projects across Georgia, the Florida panhandle and Alabama. This role focuses on safe, productive machine operation with strong GPS machine-control skills.

  • Use GPS machine control and rovers to set and verify grades and maintain tolerances
  • 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
  • Medical and dental insurance options
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Overtime opportunities on regional projects
  • Support for training and equipment-specific certifications
  • Per diem or travel allowance for multi-day assignments
