M&M Recycling is a family-owned scrap metal recycling company based out of Locust Grove, GA, that values safety, hard work, and doing the job right. We operate a fast-paced yard where skilled equipment operators keep everything moving efficiently and safely.

As part of our team, you'll work with people who look out for each other, take pride in their work, and build long-term careers in the recycling industry.

The Opportunity:
We are looking for an experienced Excavator/Crane Operator to work in a scrap yard.

This is a solid, full-time opportunity for a dependable operator who wants steady work, overtime potential, and room to grow.

You need a minimum of 7-10 years of experience on material handlers or DO NOT apply.

What You'll Do:
  • Load and unload trucks and trailers.
  • Sort, stage, and organize materials so you can do your loading.
  • Perform daily inspections, basic maintenance, and housekeeping on your equipment to keep it in safe working condition.
  • Communicate clearly with the ground crew and other operators to coordinate safe moves in a busy, fast-paced yard.

What Success Looks Like:
  • Within 30–60 days, you confidently and safely operate our excavators with minimal supervision while following all safety procedures.
  • You consistently load the trucks and trailers to meet or exceed daily and weekly yard production targets.
  • Equipment under your care remains in good working order through thorough pre-trip inspections and timely reporting of issues.

What We're Looking For:
  • At least 10 years of operating experience with a grapple and magnet, ideally in a scrap yard, demolition, or similar heavy equipment environment.
  • Hands-on experience operating grapples and magnets; shear experience is a strong plus.
  • Strong safety mindset with a track record of working safely in fast-paced outdoor environments.
  • Reliable, hardworking, and team-oriented, with the ability to communicate clearly with ground crews and fellow operators.

Compensation and Benefits:
  • To be discussed.
