• Equipment Operator

Equipment Operators are responsible for the heavy moving, lifting, and excavating tasks that arise on the job. The Equipment Operator may operate a variety of equipment ranging from a forklift or skidsteer for smaller tasks; to a dozer, loader or backhoe for medium tasks; clear up to a 200-ton crane for the heaviest,
more intricate tasks. Getting behind the controls of a piece of heavy construction equipment requires a high degree of skill, precision and caution. For those of you who have good eye/hand coordination and
constant awareness of your surroundings, you may be a prime candidate for this position. Apprentice operators will start by operating smaller forms of construction equipment and progress from there. Due to the dangers associated with heavy lifts, only the most seasoned and trained operators are qualified to sit in the cab of a crane. A skilled operator definitely provides an invaluable service to the project.
Some of the specific duties include:
  • Routine inspections of construction equipment prior to its use.
  • Perform routine preventative maintenance on the equipment.
  • Perform safe excavation work with the use of a backhoe or trackhoe.
  • Move various items; load/unload trucks, and backfill excavations using a front-end loader.
  • Lift pipe sections, structural steel, formwork and pre-cast concrete using hydraulic or cable cranes.
