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.
