We specialize in public works, water resources, and site development, with expertise in underground utilities, roadway construction, and related civil infrastructure.

We are seeking a dependable Fuel & Lube Truck Driver to support our field operations by keeping heavy construction equipment fueled, lubricated, and ready to work. This position travels between active project sites to provide routine field service while helping reduce equipment downtime and keep our crews productive.

• Follow DOT requirements and company procedures related to vehicle operation, fuel handling, spill prevention, and environmental protection.
• Keep the fuel and lube truck clean, organized, properly stocked, and ready for service.
• Coordinate with field supervisors, mechanics, and equipment operators to support project operations.

• Current DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate.
• Experience operating heavy construction equipment.
• Ability to safely reposition equipment for servicing when necessary.

• Reliable transportation to and from the assigned reporting location.
• Commitment to safety, dependability, and professional conduct.
• Ability to work early mornings and adjust to changing project schedules and locations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Three or more years of experience in heavy civil construction.
• Previous experience operating a fuel and lube truck or servicing construction equipment in the field.
• Familiarity with Jacksonville, Northeast Florida, and surrounding project locations.
