What are the responsibilities and job description for the Heavy Equipment Operator position at Rittmer Inc.?
Heavy Equipment Operator – Experienced
Rittmer Inc. is hiring an experienced Heavy Equipment Operator.
We are looking for a job-ready operator with a minimum of 5 years of real heavy civil/construction equipment experience. This is not an entry-level position, and we are not looking to train someone from the ground up.
What You Need to Be Proficient In
- Excavator
- Dozer
- Skid loader / compact track loader
- Grading and earthwork
- Reading grade and understanding elevations
- Working safely and efficiently around other equipment and crews
- Daily equipment inspections and basic equipment care
GPS / machine control experience is a strong bonus.
What We're Looking For
You should be able to show up to a jobsite, get in the machine, understand the work being performed, and produce without needing to be taught how to operate.
Minimum 5 years of heavy equipment operating experience required.
Warehouse, forklift, farm, or occasional equipment experience does not meet the experience requirement for this position. We are looking specifically for someone with substantial construction/heavy civil operating experience.
We value operators who:
- Take pride in their work
- Can finish grade and work accurately
- Take care of equipment
- Work well with the rest of the crew
- Show up reliably and ready to work
- Understand production and know how to keep a job moving
