About the role

RFD Asphalt is looking for an experienced, multi-skilled Machine Operator to join our asphalt and civil construction team on the Sunshine Coast. We do a broad range of asphalt and civil work, from asphalt paving and pavement preparation through to drainage, road base construction, batter shaping and detailed earthworks. You'll be working alongside a good crew in a fast-paced environment, often on a different site each day, working with different machinery and tackling different challenges.

Key responsibilities

- Skid steer and posi-track operation, particularly precision final trim
- Excavator operation, including drainage, detailed earthworks and general civil works
- Operating attachments including bucket brooms, spreader bars and pavement profilers
- Road base preparation, spreading, levelling and batter shaping
- Assisting with asphalt paving and other site works when needed
- Daily machinery checks, basic maintenance and looking after the gear
- Truck driving and machinery transport where appropriately licensed

What are we looking for:

- Genuinely capable operator with solid final trim and excavator experience
- Can work accurately to levels and get a quality finish
- Has a reasonable mechanical understanding and can handle basic machinery maintenance




- Thinks on their feet and looks for solutions rather than problems
- Takes pride in their work and looks after the equipment
- Works well with others and enjoys a busy, hands-on environment
- Has a good attitude, shows initiative and isn't afraid to jump out of the machine and lend a hand
- Comfortable with H-pattern joystick controls or confident you can adapt quickly
- An unconditional HR truck licence would be a big advantage, and HC or MC would be even better
- Experience across asphalt works, drainage and other civil machinery is highly regarded

What's in it for You?

- Great hourly rate + super, depending on your experience and capabilities
- Full-time or casual options available, with casual loading included in the advertised casual rates
- Weekly pay
- Plenty of variety in the work
- Part of a growing local business with a good team and hands-on management

Interested? If you're a capable operator who enjoys a challenge, likes working with valuable people and wants something more interesting than doing the same thing every day, we'd like to hear from you.

Send through your resume and let us know what machinery you’ve operated, your final trim experience and what licences you hold.
