Equipment Operator (Skid Steer / Bobcat / Grading)

Skar Audio, Inc
Tampa, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 8/7/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/4/2026

Skar Audio is hiring an experienced Skid Steer (Bobcat) Operator who can start immediately and run the machine safely and efficiently with minimal direction. This is a hands-on role for someone who already knows the equipment cold — no training-up required. We're hiring an experienced operator for site work on our Odessa, FL project. Skid steer is the primary machine, with grading, material handling, and site prep as the core of the work.

We're specifically looking for someone who can work independently — evaluate site conditions, identify where fill or grading is needed, and bring the work to the required elevations and finish without someone standing over them. GPS/machine control experience is a plus.

Safe operation around active job sites and attention to finish quality are both non-negotiable.

We pay better, promote faster, and empower further than probably almost any other company in the area. Don't miss your opportunity to help build something great!
