We're Looking For Someone Who Has

CDL Required

Commercial excavator experience

Asphalt, utility, grading, or site development experience

Strong work ethic

Dependable attendance

Safety-first mindset

Pride in producing quality work

Stable, Year-After-Year Commercial Work

Strong Safety Culture

You're Probably a Great Fit If You...

Enjoy running equipment—not sitting on the sidelines
Take pride in your work and your machine
Show up ready to contribute every day
Want to work with experienced crews that have each other's backs
Are looking for a long-term opportunity with room to grow

Schedule

• Approximately 55-hour work weeks

• Local commercial projects throughout Southeast Wisconsin

Hiring Requirements

• Valid CDL

Confidential Search

We're representing the employer throughout the hiring process.

If your background is a fit, we'll share complete company details before any interview is scheduled.

Ready to Build Something Better?
