Dozer Operator

About the role

We’re growing, increasing capacity, and adding more heavy equipment and civil expertise to the field. You'll support field operations through the safe, efficient, and high-quality installation of utility systems, bulk earthmoving, grading, and site development projects ranging from $200K to $10M+. This role is critical to overall project success, helping crews maintain productivity, quality, organization, and momentum.

Responsibilities

• Keep field production moving by leading crew operations through the seat of a dozer safely and efficiently.
• Support accurate bulk earthmoving, grading, and site development by reading plans, elevations, grades, soil conditions, and site conditions before and during the work.
• Protect schedule, quality, and cost by thinking ahead, managing workflow, and understanding the overall objectives.
• Keep grading and layout work accurate with modern equipment and Topcon GPS integration.
• Keep the operation organized by helping the crew stay aligned as the work moves.
• Support long-term crew growth by helping teach less experienced team members when your experience can help them move the work forward.
• Grow your own career by learning from others and following a clear advancement path.

Requirements

• You have experience operating dozers for commercial excavation and site work and love to be under pressure to get the job done.
• You know when the GPS is an asset and when it's not, and can grade by eye when necessary.
• You know how to make the most out of your machine, and where the dirt needs to go so you only need to push it once.
• You combine production capability with critical thinking, so the crew can move efficiently without compromising quality, layout, or the next phase of the job.
• You understand grading, blueprints, elevations, soil conditions, and site conditions well enough to help crews avoid rework and keep jobs moving in the right direction.
• You think ahead as the work changes, so crew members don’t lose time waiting on the next move.
• You like production-focused work where good decisions in the seat show up in the pace, product, and progress.
• You communicate clearly and help less experienced team members see what matters in the field, because you know small misses can turn into lost time, rework, and frustration.
• You’re looking for a long-term path where performance, ownership, leadership, and results lead to advancement.
• You have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and authorization to work in the United States.

Benefits

• Even better, but not required: Experience with Topcon GPS systems, ability to perform layout, CDL license, OSHA certifications, experience leading or mentoring crews, strong understanding of production management.
