About Kidco Construction

Kidco Construction is a full-service construction company based in Calgary, Alberta. We specialize in residential earthworks, underground utility excavation, and basement excavation for residential and commercial projects. With nearly four decades of experience, we handle every stage of a project, from site preparation and infrastructure installation to foundation excavation, equipment repair, and material hauling.

Our Material Hauling division is growing, and we're hiring an experienced Tri-Axle Tandem Gravel Truck Driver for year-round work.

What You'll Do

• Haul gravel, sand, topsoil, fill, and excavated dirt in a tri-axle gravel truck between our job sites, pits, and dump sites across Calgary and the surrounding area
• Drive a loaded gravel truck through busy city streets, including heavy traffic, residential neighbourhoods, school zones, and tight turns
• Drive on and off our active earthworks sites, where the ground is often uneven, soft, muddy, or sloped
• Back up, position, and dump loads safely and accurately where the site crew or equipment operators direct you
• Work around excavators, loaders, dozers, and ground crews, staying aware of other equipment and people on site
• Drive safely in Calgary weather, including rain, mud, snow, ice, and freeze-thaw conditions
• Do thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and report any mechanical issues right away
• Keep your truck clean, including clearing mud and debris before going back on public roads
• Submit your daily hours and load information on a tablet using HCSS My Field

• At least 2 years of experience driving a tri-axle or tandem gravel truck
• A valid Class 3 licence with air brake (Q) endorsement and a clean driver's abstract (required)
• Confidence driving a loaded gravel truck in city traffic
• Experience driving on construction sites with mud, slopes, soft ground, and uneven terrain
• Fluent spoken English and the ability to clearly understand and follow instructions from supervisors, operators, and site crews
• Comfortable using a tablet to enter your time and job information
• Previous experience with HCSS My Field is an asset
• Able to do physical work, such as lifting, bending, crouching, and climbing in and out of the truck
• Safety-focused, reliable, and professional on public roads and on site
• Able to work on your own and as part of a team

Typical Schedule

• Year-round position
• Monday to Saturday, 8 to 12 hours per day
• Work is weather dependent, so hours may change or days may be cancelled because of heavy rain or extreme conditions

What We Offer

• Competitive wages based on experience
• Overtime pay: after 8 hours per day or 44 hours per week
• Pay increases for strong performers
• Vacation/holiday pay: 9.6% on every cheque
• Benefits package through OpenCircle: health, dental, vision, prescription drugs, and life insurance, plus Teladoc online and video doctor visits. Benefits start once you reach 300 hours, followed by a one-month waiting period.
