What We’re Looking For

We are seeking an experienced Equipment Operator with strong finish-grade skills on a D6 Dozer to join our team in the Las Vegas area.

What You’ll Do

As an Equipment Operator, you will:

• Perform Finish Grading
• Cut grade to ± 0.05’ (half a tenth) consistently across pads, parking lots, roads, and other sitework.
• Use GPS, laser, or stakes to achieve tight tolerances and smooth, uniform surfaces.
• Make fine adjustments for drainage, slopes, and transitions to meet plan and spec requirements.
• Execute Work to Plan & Spec
• Review and interpret plans, stakes, blueprints, and grade sheets.
• Follow directions from the Foreman / Superintendent and clarify any discrepancies before proceeding.
• Coordinate with survey and layout crews to verify elevations and alignments.

• Support Field Operations & the Crew
• Work closely with laborers, grade checkers, truck drivers, and other operators to keep production moving.

• Assist with basic tasks on the ground when needed (checking grade, spotting trucks, setting simple stakes, etc.).
• Maintain a Safe, Clean Work Environment
• Operate equipment in accordance with company safety policies, OSHA regulations, and project-specific rules.
• Perform safe start-up, shut-down, and parking procedures every shift.
• Maintain a clean, organized machine and help keep the jobsite free of unnecessary hazards and debris.
• Immediately report any unsafe conditions, near-misses, or incidents to supervision.
• Equipment Care, Inspection & Maintenance
• Perform daily pre-trip and post-trip inspections (fluids, tracks, undercarriage, lights, backup alarm, cutting edges, etc.).
• Complete inspection forms or digital checklists accurately and on time.
• Communicate any mechanical issues to the mechanic or supervisor before they become major problems.
• Assist with basic preventative maintenance such as greasing, minor adjustments, and keeping cabs and compartments clean.

What You Bring

• Experience working on pads, parking lots, roadways, utilities, or similar sitework.
• GPS or laser-controlled grading experience is a plus.
• Skills & Competencies
• Strong finish-grade ability and eye for detail: you can “see” the grade before it’s built.
• Ability to communicate clearly and respectfully with a wide variety of personalities in the field.
• Solid understanding of basic construction math (elevations, slopes, cuts/fills).
• Ability to work independently but also function as part of a team focused on production and quality.
• Reliable, on-time, and willing to work overtime or Saturdays as the project demands.
• Requirements
• Valid driver’s license and dependable transportation to and from jobsites in the Las Vegas area.
• Ability to pass any required drug screening and meet company eligibility requirements.
