The Role

GrizzlyTrek is hiring experienced excavator, dozer and winch cat operators to join our valued client's team on underground telecommunications construction out of Grande Prairie, Alberta. This is full time work on a 3 weeks on, 1 week off rotation at $38.00 to $40.00 per hour with a $170.00 per day Living Out Allowance.
The crews install conduit, not cable. Duct and innerduct go in along right of way, road allowance and rural corridor, and the fibre is pulled or blown later by others. That means the job is conduit start to finish: plow, trench, bed, lay and backfill, with the depth and separation right the first time. Winch cat work is a core part of the spread, so you need to be steady on a plow and confident on side slope and soft ground.

What You'll Do

Operate winch cat, dozer and excavator on underground telecommunications conduit installation
Run cable plow and trencher to install conduit and innerduct to specified depth and separation
Winch and assist equipment through soft ground, muskeg, side slopes and steep grade
Dig, bed, lay and backfill conduit runs, road crossings and bore pits
Work to grade stakes, locates and as-built drawings, holding depth and alignment
Hand expose buried facilities before ground disturbance and respect all crossing agreements
Complete daily pre-trip inspections and greasing, and take part in tailgate safety meetings

What You Bring

Verifiable telecommunications construction experience. This is a hard requirement.
Seat time on winch cat, plus dozer and excavator
Experience installing conduit and duct, including plowing, trenching, bedding and backfill
Ability to hold depth and alignment off grade stakes, locates and drawings
Valid Class 5 licence and a clean driver's abstract
Current CSTS or equivalent, Ground Disturbance, H2S Alive and Standard First Aid
Able to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol test and work outdoors on rotation

Preferred Qualifications

Time on cable plow or vibratory plow on a fibre or telecom spread
GPS machine control experience (Trimble or Topcon)
Class 1 or Class 3 licence for equipment moves and float work

Work Environment

Field work out of Grande Prairie and across the surrounding Peace Country. Right of way, road allowance and rural conduit installation in all weather, on ground that runs from farmland to muskeg to steep side slope. The $170.00 per day Living Out Allowance is paid on top of the hourly rate.
Pay is a gross hourly rate before deductions.

What We Offer

$38.00 to $40.00 per hour, stated up front and not talked down after the interview
$170.00 per day Living Out Allowance
Opportunities for overtime based on operational requirements
Life insurance: $100,000 employee / $10,000 spouse / $5,000 per child
AD&D insurance with critical illness and cancer coverage
Extended health care: drugs, hospital, hearing, orthotics, nursing
Paramedical services: chiro, physio, massage, mental health (annual coverage)
Vision care: glasses, contacts, laser surgery, and exams
Dental care: 80% basic ($2,500), 50% major ($2,500), $2,500 ortho for children
Travel insurance: up to $5,000,000 per incident (trips up to 90 days)
Ongoing training and career development support
