Job Description

Greensuns Construction is a family-owned heavy civil contractor, and we're growing. From mass grading and site development to utilities, roadwork, and large-scale excavation, we take on the projects that build the backbone of our communities. We started as a family business and still run like one — people here know each other's names, look out for one another, and take pride in the work. We're hiring a skilled Equipment Operator who wants to grow right along with us.

What You'll Do

• Safely operate a range of heavy equipment — excavators, dozers, loaders, motor graders, and rollers, depending on the project.
• Move, grade, backfill, and shape material to plan using grade stakes, blueprints, and grade-control systems.
• Hold line and grade to tolerance while protecting existing utilities and structures.
• Follow all excavation, trench, and site safety requirements, including proper sloping, shoring, and spoil placement.
• Perform daily pre-operation inspections, routine maintenance, and report mechanical issues promptly.
• Coordinate with foremen, laborers, pipe crews, and inspectors to keep work moving efficiently.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-aware work area.

What You Bring (Required)

• 2+ years operating heavy equipment on civil, site, or utility projects.
• Proficiency with at least one core machine (excavator, dozer, loader, or blade) and willingness to cross-train.
• Solid understanding of grade, slope, and reading stakes and plans.
• Working knowledge of OSHA site and trench safety standards.
• Reliable, punctual, able to work outdoors in varying conditions, with a strong safety mindset.

Preferred

• OSHA 10 or 30 certification.
• Experience with GPS / machine-control grade systems.
• Competent Person training for excavation.
• Valid CDL (Class A or B).
• Experience on larger heavy civil or public-works projects.
