We are a financially strong, rapidly expanding civil construction and recycling business in South East Queensland, delivering major projects in earthworks, civil construction, demolition, and recycling. With a modern fleet and a strong pipeline of work, we have outgrown our family business roots and are building professional systems while maintaining our close-knit culture. This is a great time to join and grow with us.
About the Role
We are on the lookout for three experienced Excavator and Final Trim Operators to join our growing team across various project sites throughout Brisbane and South East Queensland. You will play a key role in detailed earthworks, site finishing, and final trim operations. The detail is that we have roles for one 5 - 14 Tonne operator and two 15 – 50 Tonne operators.
These roles suit someone who takes real pride in operating new, modern plant and wants to keep equipment in pristine condition. You might be looking to stay in your happy place as a skilled plant operator with long-term stability, or you may want to develop into a leadership role (such as Leading Hand) in the future. We need both types of team members — people who want longevity and to feel part of the family, and those who want to grow into our future leaders.
You will need to be really valuable at your job. The owner is often operating the plant, but we want experienced people that will be proactive,
trusted and get the job done to a very high standard, so he doesn’t have to!
