We are seeking an experienced Skid Steer Operator to join our dirt work crew. This position requires someone who is confident operating a skid steer and has hands-on experience grading residential lots.

  • Rough grade residential lots
  • Perform final grading around completed homes
  • Backfill foundations and other areas as needed

  • Able to work independently without constant supervision
  • Must take care of company equipment and operate it responsibly
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation preferred
