In just ten years, we’ve grown from a small residential startup into a company trusted to build the infrastructure that millions of people rely on every day, most of it buried underground, unseen but essential. We started by building assets; now we’re focused on building people. We believe hard work should lead to real rewards, accountability should create opportunity, and every project is a chance to raise the standard for what this industry can be.

We’ve grown to a point where we need to fill additional seats on our team. As a skilled Operator, you'll drive production on earthwork and underground projects efficiently, moving dirt, installing pipe, and shaping sites for new subdivisions and large commercial projects.

• Create consistent, high-quality results running late-model GPS-equipped excavators, dozers, loaders, and other equipment for pipe and dirt work
• Drive production by planning ahead, anticipating the next phase, sequencing work effectively, and minimizing idle time
• Protect the crew and equipment by always leading with safety, identifying hazards early, and keeping areas clean and organized
• Help the team succeed, stay coordinated, and avoid rework by helping others, being accountable, and communicating
• Work with a team of high performers who are hungry to grow, proud of the work they put in, and care about doing things right, not just fast. A crew that talks openly about what went wrong as often as what went right, learning from the "bummers" instead of burying them
• Put in real hours and see real progress. Most weeks run 10 to 12-hour days with occasional Saturdays, giving plenty of opportunity for overtime and visible momentum on every job

• You’ve spent real time in the seat of an excavator, dozer, or loader and know how to move dirt and/or install pipe efficiently without sacrificing safety or quality
• You know how to read grade stakes and measure in tenths, so your grades come out right the first time
• You're confident in your skills, but never act like you’ve got it all figured out. You keep learning, asking questions, and finding small ways to get better every day
• You take extreme accountability for jobs to run smoothly. You think ahead, own your part, and bring a strong sense of safety

• You're experienced in mass earthwork and/or underground utilities
• You can read blueprints
• You've worked with GPS
• You have a CDL-A

We work 5-12 days in the peak season, and 4-10 days in the winter, with occasional Saturdays. Most jobs are in the counties north of Detroit and out west towards Wayne and Washtenaw Counties. Per-diem for projects over 1.5 hours away from the office.

• Most jobs within 60 minutes of our offices. Per-Diem supplied for projects over 1.5 hours from office
• Stay busy and see the extra effort show up on your check with steady, year-round work, plenty of hours, and overtime
• Clear info, no guesswork, and no blind digging. We handle our own GPS and surveys, and you’ll always have access to current plans
• Semi-flexible hours and days off with year-round work
• A culture built on accountability, consistency, and open feedback
• The owner works alongside the team, leading from the field as much as the office
• A company mindset focused on growth, constantly learning, improving, and evolving together

• Late Model John Deere and Caterpillar equipment
• Trimble GPS
• Large variety of crew support and safety equipment
• Constant evolution of updated tech and old school methods and machines to drive project success and efficiency
• Modern estimating and project management tools:
