About the Role
Are you an experienced dozer operator who knows Trimble 3D GPS inside and out and thrives in a leadership role? We are seeking a GPS Dozer Operator / Team Lead for a direct placement position with one of our top civil earthwork clients.

- Crew Leadership & Coordination: Serve as a working Team Lead—directing site personnel, delegating daily tasks, keeping work moving efficiently, and reporting progress to the Project Lead.
- Production Tracking & Daily Logs: Complete daily equipment logs and track site production quantities, equipment hours, and delays using HeavyJob or daily log software.
- Auxiliary Equipment Operation: Step into support iron when needed, including skid steers, rollers, and track loaders to keep operations fluid.
- Jobsite Safety: Lead daily safety briefings (toolbox talks) and enforce zero-compromise safety protocols around heavy machinery and active earthwork zones.
Candidate Requirements
- Experience: 4+ years of heavy dozer operation required (preferably focused on civil earthwork and site development).
- GPS Expertise: 2+ years of hands-on experience utilizing Trimble GPS-guided systems , including model verification and grade layout.
- Leadership Background: 2+ years of experience leading site crews and managing daily field workflows.
- Certifications: Valid Driver's License and OSHA 10 Certification required (willingness to obtain OSHA 30 is required).
- Reporting & Tech Proficiency: Familiarity with HeavyJob or electronic daily project logging tools.
- Machine Versatility: Competency across small-to-large dozers (CAT D3 to D8) and basic support iron (skid steers/rollers).
