Durus Industrial is seeking skilled equipment operators capable of safely and efficiently operating light to mid-sized construction equipment in heavy industrial and infrastructure environments.
This role supports multi-trade crews on large-scale projects, including border wall construction, requiring operators who can perform in remote, high-production environments and contribute beyond just equipment operation.
Core Responsibilities
- Operate light to mid-sized equipment including reach forklifts, track hoes, backhoes, mini excavators, skid steers, and water trucks
- Perform material handling, trenching, grading, back filling, and site support activities
- Support crew operations with equipment positioning, lifting, and logistics
- Conduct daily equipment inspections and basic preventative maintenance
- Assist with ground work when equipment is not in operation (labor support across trades)
- Maintain safe operation practices in congested and active jobsite environments
Qualifications
- 3–5+ years of equipment operating experience in industrial or heavy civil environments
- Proven ability to operate multiple types of light equipment safely and efficiently
- Experience working around crews performing structural, concrete, or piping work
- Understanding of grade, trenching safety, and material handling practices
- Valid driver's license (CDL preferred for water truck operation)
- Ability to perform labor tasks as needed to support the crew
Work Environment & Expectations
- Travel required across AZ, NM, and surrounding regions
- Active work on remote project sites, including border wall construction zones
- Extended work schedules aligned with long-duration projects (not short-term outage work)
- Work performed in remote environments
- Outdoor work in extreme conditions (heat, dust, terrain)
- Zero-tolerance safety culture—PPE and compliance required at all times
Compensation
- Highly competitive pay based on experience and equipment proficiency
- Overtime opportunities tied to project demands
- Per diem for qualifying projects
- Benefits package available
