Are you an experienced equipment operator who knows that getting the job done takes more than sitting in a machine all day?

We are hiring a dependable Heavy Equipment Operator for full-time, year-round civil construction, utility, concrete, dirt work, and paving projects throughout the central PA area.

This is not a “sit in an air-conditioned cab and watch everyone else work” position. Our crews work together. That means operating equipment when needed, getting out to help the crew when needed, grabbing a shovel, helping with pipe, assisting with layout, and doing whatever it takes to keep the job moving safely and efficiently.

If you are looking to only run a machine and never touch the ground, this is not the team for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Operate excavators, loaders, backhoes, skid steers, rollers, dozers, and other heavy equipment as assigned
• Perform trenching, grading, back filling, excavation, site prep, and material handling
• Support underground utility installation including water, sewer, storm sewer, manholes, inlets, and related sitework
• Assist with dirt work, concrete work, paving, labor duties, and general jobsite support as needed
• Work safely around existing underground utilities and active construction areas
• Read grade stakes, follow directions from foremen, and help maintain production on the jobsite
• Perform daily equipment inspections and report maintenance or safety concerns
• Travel to assigned project locations as needed
• Work as part of a crew and step in wherever help is needed

• Experience operating heavy equipment in heavy civil, sitework, excavation, utilities, paving, or related construction work
• Strong excavator experience is highly preferred
• Experience digging around existing utilities is a major plus
• Underground utility, pipe crew, pipe fitting, water, sewer, or storm work experience is a huge plus
• Ability and willingness to work outside of the machine when the crew needs help
• Must not be afraid of physical work, shoveling, laboring, or working alongside the crew
• Safety-minded, dependable, punctual, and able to take direction
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced field environment where every day may be different
• Must be able to pass a background check due to work performed at SCI Muncy and other secure facilities
• Must be comfortable occasionally working in and around a correctional-facility environment
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation preferred
• Full-time, year-round employment
• $30/hour base pay when not on prevailing wage projects
• Prevailing wage opportunities paying in the upper $60s/hour
• Consistent work with a growing civil construction and utility team
• Overtime opportunities based on project needs
• The chance to work on meaningful infrastructure, utility, sitework, concrete, and paving projects
• A team environment where hard work is noticed and respected
