Quanta Services

Skilled Telecom/Underground Utilities Heavy Equipment OperatorsRobinson Brothers Construction, LLC is looking for skilled Telecom/Underground Utilities Heavy Equipment Operators ready to join our traveling crew and help power the Pacific Northwest and West Coast — one job site at a time.This isn't a desk job, and it isn't a one-town job. Our crews move where the work is, tackling major projects across multiple states. We do our best to get our people home at night whenever we can — but when the next big job calls, we're ready to roll, and we need operators who are too.If you love variety, thrive behind the controls of heavy equipment, and want a career that actually goes somewhere, this is your next move.You'll be at the heart of the action — operating cable plows, backhoes, mini excavators, skid steers, rock saws, and other heavy machinery to install, repair, and maintain the underground utility networks that keep communities connected. Every day brings a new site, a new challenge, and a new chance to put your skills to work.Daily Responsibilities:Operate heavy machinery safely and confidentlyDig trenches, backfill excavations, and grade to specTransport, load, and unload materials and equipmentFollow on-site safety procedures to the letterSecure loads properly for transportStay sharp on DOT regulationsRun daily pre-trip inspections and Job Hazard Analyses (JHA)Roll up your sleeves and hand-dig when machinery can't reachWhat We're Looking For:A go-anywhere mindset — travel across multiple states is part of the job, and part of the funValid CDL Class A is a plus (not required — but if you've got it, you'll earn premium pay for it)Solid experience operating heavy equipmentClean driving record (2 tickets or fewer in the last 5 years)A sharp eye for safety and qualityStrong time management skillsA hands-on attitude — willing to do what it takes to get the job done rightLife on the Job:This full-time, hourly role (40+ hours/week) puts you outdoors and in the middle of real work — rain or shine, hot or cold. One day you're in open country, the next you're navigating an active worksite in town. It's physical, it's real, and it's never boring. Expect exposure to the elements, varying terrain, and occasional proximity to natural gas lines or electrical equipment — all managed with strict safety protocols.Physical Requirements:Stand for up to 12 hours at a stretchHandle extreme weather like a proCommunicate clearly on-site for safetyLift, climb, kneel, reach, crouch, and crawl as neededRegularly lift up to 50 lbsSharp vision across the board — close, distance, color, depth, and peripheralWhy You'll Love It Here:Pay Range: $25.00 – $38.50/hour, based on experience and qualificationsBenefits Include:Medical, Dental, and Vision insuranceFlexible Spending Accounts / Health Savings Accounts401(k) with company matchShort- and Long-Term Disability coverageSupplemental Life and AD&D InsurancePaid Holidays and VacationCompetitive pay that rewards your skillsAnd because we're part of the Quanta Services family, you'll also enjoy an outstanding extras package — travel discounts, car rental perks, phone discounts, tire discounts, and more.Ready to trade the same old routine for the open road and a career that moves?
