Heavy Equipment Operator
$32 - $38 per hourCardone Ventures
POSITION SUMMARY
BC Excavating is seeking experienced Heavy Equipment Operators with a strong civil construction background to join our growing team. In this role, you will operate a wide range of equipment, from skid steers to 93,000-pound dozers, on mass earthwork and substation site work projects throughout Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia.
As a non-union contractor , our operators are more than machine drivers. They are active members of the crew who take ownership of their equipment, support the team when labor is needed, and contribute to the overall success of each project.
If you have experience in civil excavation, are confident using GPS machine control systems, and bring a strong work ethic that extends beyond the standard 40-hour week, we want to hear from you. We offer above-market pay, travel per diem, and the opportunity to build a long-term career with a company that values its people.
ABOUT BC EXCAVATING
BC Excavating is a family-owned civil excavation and site work company based in Rockbridge, Ohio. We specialize in earthmoving, underground utilities, land clearing, and grading, delivering quality site work for residential, commercial, and municipal projects across Central Ohio and surrounding regions.
Our reputation is built on showing up, doing the work right, and fostering long-term relationships with both clients and employees. As we continue to grow, we're looking for individuals who take ownership, come ready to work, and want to be part of a team that supports one another.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Operate assigned equipment safely and efficiently while following project plans and specifications with minimal supervision.
- Read grades accurately and confidently utilize GPS machine control systems on civil and substation projects.
- Complete Daily Task Hazard Analysis (DTHA) forms and pre-shift equipment inspections consistently and without prompting.
- Support the crew with labor tasks as needed. In our non-union environment, everyone contributes to project success.
- Communicate proactively with the site foreman regarding progress, equipment conditions, and safety concerns.
- Advance through BC Excavating's performance development process and pursue opportunities for increased responsibility and leadership.

- Execute grading plans using GPS machine control systems while reading grades in tenths and maintaining project specifications.
- Complete daily pre-shift equipment inspections, DTHA forms, and participate in job briefings.
- Perform labor duties when required, including loading and unloading materials, trench support, pipe installation assistance, and other site-related tasks.
