The Maryland National Capital Park & Planning Commission is one of the largest organizations servicing both Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. In both counties we manage the park systems; in Prince George’s County we also develop the public’s recreation programs.

Our Department of Parks & Recreation, the Facility Services Division (FSD), is the largest division in Parks & Recreation. We provide high‑quality maintenance and support services for all parks and recreation facilities within Prince George’s County. We have six major work areas:
Fleet Management, Buildings & Structures (Trade Shops), Horticulture & Forestry (Roads & Grounds), Major Maintenance & Inspection, Critical Projects (Aquatics, Sustainability, Heavy Equipment and Roads and Grounds) and the Administrative section.

We offer an excellent benefits package, including health, dental and vision, as well as 43 paid vacation/sick/holiday/personal days in the first year; opportunities for advancement and steady employment. You may be required to work storm and emergency shifts.

This position is located in the Heavy Equipment / Roads and Grounds unit of the Critical Projects section. Under general supervision, the incumbent performs skilled equipment operation work involving considerable responsibility, complexity, variety, and dexterity. The primary duty is operating heavy equipment (e.g., dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, motor graders) to perform construction and maintenance work (such as rough grading and excavation) in Commission parks and other areas.

A secondary duty involves operating medium equipment (e.g., skid steers, front‑end loaders). The role applies knowledge of heavy equipment operation procedures and characteristics, standards of specialized equipment, safety, excavation and grading work, and Storm Water Management compliance. The incumbent interacts with people inside and outside the work unit to exchange routine and non‑routine information and performs other duties as assigned.

The incumbent carries out regular, recurring work independently in conformance with established policies and procedures, resolves routine work problems by selecting and applying the appropriate guideline(s), keeps the supervisor informed, and brings procedural exceptions to the supervisor or a higher‑grade employee for guidance or resolution. The work is subject to review, and upon completion is evaluated for conformance with instructions and other guidelines, quality, quantity, timeliness, teamwork, customer service and other factors.

• Three years of equipment operation, including a minimum of one year of experience using heavy equipment.
• Must possess a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with appropriate endorsements at the time of employment.
