Mini Excavator Operator

Mini Excavator Operator – We Will Train Plumbing

Plumbing Solutions LLC is hiring a Mini Excavator Operator with construction experience who wants to build a career in a skilled trade.

You do not have to be a plumber. We will train the right person in residential underground plumbing.

If you know how to operate a mini excavator, understand how a construction site works, and are willing to learn, we can teach you the plumbing side of the job—including residential slab plumbing and sewer installation.

What You’ll Do

• Operate a mini excavator safely and efficiently
• Dig and install residential sewer lines
• Perform underground plumbing work beneath concrete slabs
• Set grade and maintain proper slope/fall
• Install PVC drainage and sewer systems
• Perform trenching, excavation, and backfilling
• Read and follow basic construction plans and layouts
• Measure and maintain accurate elevations
• Identify potential issues before concrete is poured
• Work as part of a production-focused residential construction crew
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area

What We’re Looking For

• Previous mini excavator experience
• Construction, excavation, or underground utility experience
• Comfortable working outdoors in changing weather conditions
• Ability to measure accurately and follow layouts and instructions
• Strong work ethic and reliable attendance
• Takes pride in doing the job correctly—not just getting it done
• Willingness to learn plumbing and develop new skills
• Ability to work effectively as part of a crew

Experience That’s a Plus — But Not Required

Experience in any of the following is valuable:

• Plumbing
• Septic installation
• Water or sewer utilities
• Sitework
• Grading
• Storm drainage
• Irrigation
• Excavation
• Underground construction

We’ll Teach You the Trade

If you already know construction and equipment operation, you have a strong foundation.

Plumbing Solutions will train the right person in residential slab plumbing, underground drainage, and sewer installation. You’ll have the opportunity to turn your equipment and construction experience into a specialized skilled trade.

This is a hands-on production position for someone who wants to work, learn, and become highly skilled—not a position for someone looking to sit on the sidelines.

If you can operate the equipment, work hard, and are willing to learn plumbing, we want to talk to you.

Requirements:

• Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs, bend, kneel, and work in various indoor and outdoor environments, including crawl spaces and attics.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues and recommend effective solutions during installation and inspection phases.
• Reliable, punctual, and capable of working independently or as part of a team to meet deadlines and maintain project quality.
• Clear and respectful communication with supervisors, team members, and builders to ensure seamless project coordination.
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record; ability to travel between job sites across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia as needed.
