At Gregory Construction, we’re a team that takes pride in doing things the right way. We’ve built a strong reputation across civil, industrial, and commercial projects by putting in honest work and delivering quality results.

We work with cities, DOTs, universities, and major clients—but at the end of the day, we’re a boots‑on‑the‑ground company that values hard work, safety, and looking out for each other. Our core values—Safety, Integrity, Excellence, Determination and Communication—aren’t just words, they’re how we run every job site.

If you’re someone with a “can do” attitude who shows up ready to work and be part of a solid crew, you’ll fit right in here.

  • Perform daily pre‑shift equipment inspections
  • Coordinate with crew members using hand and audio signals
  • Load and transport materials using equipment and trucks
  • Inspect, clean, maintain, and assist with minor equipment repairs
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions and flexible hours (including nights/weekends as needed)
  • Follow all safety rules, company policies, and jobsite procedures
  • Report any safety concerns, equipment issues, or incidents to your supervisor
What We’re Looking For
  • 3+ years of experience in civil construction
  • At least 2 years of verifiable heavy equipment operating experience
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Willingness to travel to multiple job sites
  • Able to pass pre‑employment screening (including drug screen and background check)
  • Strong work ethic and team‑first mindset
  • Takes safety seriously and communicates well with the crew
What You’ll Get
  • Full‑time, steady work
  • PTO, health, and dental insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Opportunities for training, certifications, and career growth

We consider all applicants for positions without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, citizenship, age, mental or physical disabilities, veteran/reserve/national guard or any other similarly protected status. We also comply with all applicable laws governing employment practices and do not discriminate on the basis of any unlawful criteria.
