  • 3-5+ years of equipment operating experience in industrial or heavy civil environments
  • Proven ability to operate multiple types of light equipment safely and efficiently
  • Experience working around crews performing structural, concrete, or piping work
  • Understanding of grade, trenching safety, and material handling practices

  • Ability to perform labor tasks as needed to support the crew
  • Must have MSHA
Work Environment & Expectations
  • Travel required across AZ, NM, and surrounding regions
  • Active work on remote project sites
  • Extended work schedules aligned with long-duration projects (not short-term outage work)
  • Work performed in remote environments
  • Outdoor work in extreme conditions (heat, dust, terrain)
  • Zero-tolerance safety culture-PPE and compliance required at all times
Compensation
  • Highly competitive pay based on experience and equipment proficiency

  • Per diem for qualifying projects
  • Benefits package available
