Equipment Operator

At The Hatch Group we’re a family‑owned and operated company rooted in the construction industry, proudly building more than just projects — we’re building lasting relationships. With nearly 100 team members across our operations (depending on the season), we bring a culture of inclusion, empowerment, and community to everything we do.

Our team thrives in a group centered environment, where collaboration and hard work go hand in hand. Recently expanding our footprint with a new Florida office, we now serve clients throughout the eastern United States, continuing to grow while keeping our family values at the core of our success.

If you’re looking to join a company that values people as much as performance — where you can laugh, grow, and make a real impact — you’ll feel right at home here.
