We are seeking Highly Skilled Heavy Plant Operators for long-term, secure roles within the waste management sector. This isn't your standard civil dirt-shifting gig—we need experienced operators who understand the unique pace, compaction requirements, and safety standards of a busy waste facility.

If you can jump into the seat of heavy scrapers, push serious bulk with a D9, and handle the biggest compactors in the business without breaking a sweat, we want to hear from you.

The Machinery

To be successful, you must have proven, verifiable experience operating at least three of the following:

- Scrapers: Caterpillar 637G & 623E (Dual-engine and elevating experience is essential)

- Track Dozer: Caterpillar D9 (Bulk pushing, batter work, and waste cell maintenance)

- Landfill Compactor: Caterpillar 836 / 838 series (The big boys—managing cell compaction and daily cover)

What You Need to Bring

- Tickets & Experience: Valid RIIMPO tickets (or verified VOCs) with extensive production hours on the machinery listed above.

- Waste Industry Know-How:



Prior experience working in landfills, waste management facilities, or major resource recovery centers is highly regarded.

- Safety First Attitude: Waste environments move fast. You must have a sharp eye for ground crew, spotters, and changing site conditions.

- Reliability: A solid work ethic, a clean drug & alcohol screen, and a current driver’s license.

What’s in it for You?

- Top Rates: Highly competitive hourly rates with plenty of overtime available.

- Job Security: The waste industry never stops—enjoy consistent, year-round work.

- Modern Fleet: Work with well-maintained, late-model heavy machinery.

- Quick Turnaround: We are looking to onboard the right operators immediately.
