Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Heavy Equipment Operator in the Milford CT area for our Environmental Solutions Client!!

Up to $5,000 Sign On Bonus

1st Shift

Pay is $25 - $35/hr depending on experience, plus overtime, full benefits, and a sign on bonus.

Can you run yellow iron?

Milford runs collections and transfer under one roof, so the floor is busy from the first truck in. The right operator keeps that building from backing up.

What you will do:

• Run excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, and skid steers on the tipping floor and yard
• Work MSW, C&D, and recyclables across the floor, stage and separate material as it comes off the trucks
• Load outbound trailers clean and legal, keep weights right the first time
• Walk the machine every day, catch leaks, wear, and damage before they turn into downtime
• Work safely around live truck traffic, spotters, and customers
• Keep the floor moving so trucks turn fast and the site stays ahead of volume

What we are looking for:

• Real seat time on excavators, dozers, loaders, or skid steers. Transfer station, landfill, scrap, demolition, or heavy civil all count
• Comfortable operating in tight quarters around people and moving trucks
• Solid safety habits and clean operating technique, you take care of the iron
• A short hands on equipment evaluation is part of the hiring process, so come ready to run
• Diesel or heavy equipment repair knowledge is a plus, not a requirement
• No CDL required

Why apply through LaTrae:

• We place operators, welders, and heavy equipment techs all day, so we know these employers and these roles
• A direct line to the hiring manager, faster than applying cold
• Always free to you, the employer pays our fee
• Confidential, your current employer never knows you are looking
