Excavator Operator

Overview

We’re looking for experienced Excavator Operators who can work safely, move efficiently, and keep production on track in a fast‑paced telecom construction environment. This is hands‑on work building critical infrastructure—no shortcuts, no wasted movement. At Ledcor you’ll be part of a crew that gets the job done right, supporting large‑scale high‑speed telecommunications projects. This is a long‑term career opportunity with steady work and rotational travel every 4 weeks across Nevada and surrounding states.

If you’re reliable, safety‑focused, and take pride in clean, efficient work, you’ll fit right in. Come build something that lasts with a team that expects the best and backs it up.

• Operate excavators for trenching, back filling, grading, and utility installation in a fast‑paced telecom construction environment
• Safely excavate around live underground utilities including power and telecommunications—no shortcuts
• Read and execute work using utility locates, site plans, and construction drawings
• Support crews with conduit placement and cable installation to keep production moving
• Complete daily inspections and basic maintenance checks to keep equipment running reliably
• Step in on general construction tasks when needed—a team‑first mindset
• Communicate clearly with crew and supervisors to stay aligned and hit daily targets

• Minimum 5 years of excavator experience in utilities or construction environments
• Experience with fiber optic or underground utility installation is a strong asset
• Solid ability to read drawings and interpret utility locates
• Strong understanding of safe digging practices and job site safety standards
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Physically capable of lifting up to 70 lbs and working in active construction environments

• Monday to Friday schedule (7:00 AM – 3:00 PM), with overtime available after 40 hours
• Living Out Allowance (LOA) provided
• Travel required (rotational work across Nevada and surrounding areas)
• Full health, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching
• Outdoor, hands‑on work in variable conditions—this is a field role, not a cab‑only job
