Use hydraulic tools, welding equipment, cutting torches, electrical tools, and common hand tools as needed.
Monitor equipment condition, complete minor servicing and repairs, and report major mechanical issues to the shop supervisor.
Assist with dismantling and loading equipment at the end of assignments.
Restock vehicles with parts and supplies, sort scrap materials, and maintain clean, organized work areas.
Follow safety procedures and support other operational teams when needed.
Qualifications
Valid Class A CDL with a good driving record.
Experience in construction labor or a similar physically demanding role.
Ability to operate heavy equipment safely and perform hands-on field work.

Availability for emergency response at all hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Preferred Experience
Three or more years operating heavy equipment, including backhoes, bulldozers, excavators, front-end loaders, grapple trucks, rail-bound equipment, tractors, and skid steers.
An equivalent combination of training and experience may also be considered.
Schedule & Pay
40 hours guaranteed per week.
Significant overtime; employees average 60+ hours per week, with some weeks reaching 70 hours.
Time-and-a-half pay for hours worked outside Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM-4:00 PM.
Additional compensation may include per diem, hotel pay for travel, and layover pay when applicable.
Between field assignments, employees may complete safety training, preventive maintenance, and equipment servicing.
