We run active HDD crews on fibre and utility projects and we need an Intermediate Skid Steer Operator who can work efficiently within a busy construction environment. At this level, we expect you to bring real experience to the machine and real value to the crew.

Role Overview

You'll be running a skid steer as a core part of our HDD telecom operations — not just moving material, but making smart, safe decisions that keep the whole site productive.

  • Manage spoil handling, grading, and surface cleanup throughout the project lifecycle
  • Load, move, and stage materials to support drill and pulling operations
  • Complete daily equipment pre-checks and report any mechanical concerns
  • Coordinate work activities with other trades and crew members on site

Qualifications

  • Valid, current certification is mandatory and must be confirmed before hire
  • Demonstrated experience operating skid steers in a construction or utility environment
  • Experience on telecom, HDD, or underground utility projects strongly preferred
  • Good spatial awareness and judgment in tight site conditions
  • Valid driver's license

What We Offer

  • Above-average hours on consistent, long-term project work

  • Pay commensurate with experience and performance

  • Company benefits

  • Performance-based Christmas bonus for contributors who go above and beyond

  • Full LOA and accommodations for employees commuting from more than 100 km
