Skid Steer | Dozer | Excavator | CDL Required
Barrett Land Services is looking for an experienced, dependable Heavy Equipment Operator to join our growing land services operation in the Oklahoma City area.
This position is for someone who can do more than simply run a machine. We are looking for an operator who understands dirt work, land clearing, equipment care, and how to complete a job efficiently while producing a quality finished product.
What You'll Do:
- Operate skid steers, dozers, and excavators
- Perform dirt work, grading, excavation, and site preparation
- Build and prepare house pads and building pads
- Clear trees, brush, and vegetation
- Perform forestry mulching and land-clearing work as needed

- Strong attention to detail and respect for customer property
What We're Looking For:
We want someone who takes pride in their work and takes care of equipment like it's their own.
The right person understands that a good operator isn't measured only by how quickly they move dirt. They know how to read a jobsite, minimize unnecessary machine time, protect equipment, communicate problems, and leave behind a finished product they're proud to put their name on.
Experience with residential and rural dirt work, land clearing, forestry mulching, pad construction, drainage, and gravel work is especially valuable.
