We're a growing, family-run operation that takes pride in quality work and treating our crew right.
We're hiring an experienced Diamond Grinder Operator to run our self-propelled diamond grinding equipment on highway, roadway, bridge, and airfield projects.

- Manage water and slurry systems during grinding operations
- Work safely within active work zones alongside traffic control crews
- Load, unload, and transport equipment to and from job sites
- Travel to and stay overnight at out-of-town project sites as needed
What We're Looking For
- Prior hands-on experience operating a diamond grinding machine (required)
- Reliable, safety-minded, and willing to put in a full day
- Mechanical aptitude and comfort operating heavy equipment
- Able to travel and stay overnight for multi-day jobs
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Able to perform physical labor: standing, bending, lifting up to 50 lbs, and working outdoors in varying weather
- Able to pass a pre-employment drug screen
Preferred (Not Required)
- CDL (Class A or B)
- Experience in DOT or highway construction environments
- OSHA 10/30 certification
What We Offer
- Competitive pay starting at $35+/hour, based on experience
- Per diem and lodging covered on travel jobs
- Overtime opportunities during peak season
- Steady work with a growing company
Wasatch Surface Solutions is an equal opportunity employer.
