Experienced Operators Wanted

An established and growing heavy civil contractor in Southern California is looking to add experienced Heavy Equipment Operators to its field team.

We are looking for true operators who understand grading and earthwork, not simply individuals who have spent time in the seat of a machine.

If you know how to read the ground, understand grades and elevations, and can safely and efficiently operate equipment on active heavy civil projects, we want to speak with you.

This is a long-term opportunity with consistent work, strong hourly compensation and regular overtime.

• Understanding grades and elevations

• Fine and/or rough grading

• Heavy civil construction sites

• Working around Foremen, Superintendents and other equipment operators

• Maintaining safe and productive jobsite operations

Experience working for a heavy civil, grading, excavation, paving, roadway or site-development contractor is strongly preferred.

What Makes You a Strong Candidate

We're interested in operators who:

• Can do more than simply operate the machine

• Understand how to achieve and maintain grade

• Take pride in production and quality

• Know how to work efficiently around other equipment and crews

• Are dependable and consistently show up ready to work

• Communicate well with Foremen and Superintendents

• Put safety first without sacrificing productivity

• Want a stable company where they can build a long-term career

Compensation & Hours

$30–$40 per hour, depending on experience and skill level.

The position also offers approximately 10+ hours of overtime per week, providing experienced operators with significant additional earning potential.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This isn't a short-term project or temporary assignment.

The company is looking for experienced operators who want to become part of the team and build a long-term future with an established heavy civil contractor.

You'll have the opportunity to work consistent hours, earn overtime and work alongside experienced heavy civil professionals on grading, paving and site-development projects throughout Southern California.
