We are a growing and dynamic company to work with providing you with the key to your future success.

The Role

We are seeking experienced Heavy Equipment Operators to support a variety of construction, civil, mining, earthworks, excavation, and reclamation projects. This role requires the safe and efficient operation of dozers, mini excavators, and other heavy equipment to complete grading, trenching, road maintenance, site preparation, excavation, and material movement activities.

The successful candidate will work closely with supervisors, survey crews, spotters, and ground personnel to ensure projects are completed safely, accurately, and on schedule while maintaining productivity and quality standards.

Duties and Responsibilities

Operate dozers and mini excavators to perform excavation, trenching, grading, backfilling, site preparation, and earthmoving activities.
Push overburden, soil, sand, muskeg, and other materials while maintaining grade and slope requirements.
Construct, maintain, and repair haul roads, access roads, work pads, lease sites, and laydown areas.
Read and follow grade stakes, survey markings, project drawings, laser systems, and GPS machine control when applicable.
Safely excavate around underground utilities and follow all ground disturbance procedures.
Maintain safe trench conditions through proper sloping, benching, shoring, and excavation practices.
Rip frost, hardpan, and other difficult ground conditions as required by project demands.
Load, move, stockpile, and place materials, spoil, and debris throughout the work area.
Support reclamation, environmental, and land restoration projects, including topsoil placement and contouring.
Conduct daily equipment inspections, walkarounds, and routine maintenance activities, including greasing and fluid checks.
Report equipment deficiencies, hazards, incidents, and near misses promptly.
Participate in daily safety meetings, hazard assessments, toolbox talks, and other site safety initiatives.

What You Bring

Experience operating dozers, mini excavators, or other heavy equipment in construction, mining, civil, earthworks, utility, or reclamation environments.
Proven ability to trench, excavate, grade, and maintain slopes with minimal supervision.
Strong understanding of excavation, trenching, grading, and earthmoving techniques.
Experience working safely around heavy equipment, vehicle traffic, utilities, and active construction operations.
Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
Ability to work independently while maintaining productivity and safety standards.
Willingness to work outdoors in varying weather and site conditions.
Ability to meet project-specific site access requirements, including required testing and orientations.
CSA-approved safety footwear and standard personal protective equipment (PPE).

Qualifications

Ground Disturbance certification or equivalent.
Construction safety training certification.
Standard First Aid and CPR certification.
GPS machine control experience.
Experience operating large production dozers and additional heavy equipment.
Previous experience on mining, civil infrastructure, utility installation, reclamation, or large-scale earthworks projects.
Experience working around underground utilities and buried infrastructure

Work Environment

Outdoor work on active construction, mining, earthworks, excavation, utility, and reclamation projects.
Physically demanding work involving climbing, standing, walking on uneven terrain, bending, lifting, and prolonged equipment operation.
Exposure to varying weather conditions and challenging ground environments throughout the year.
Work may involve rotational schedules, extended shifts, day or night work, and camp-based or local projects depending on operational requirements.
Strong safety-focused work environment with regular hazard assessments, safety meetings, and ongoing compliance with company and site safety standards.
