Excavator Operator

Overview

Mr. Jenkins Told Me you’re a hands-on person who takes safety seriously!

How would you like to get paid to play in the dirt? Are you experienced with excavators and trenchers? Would your friends call you “cautious” and “safe”?

How would you like to be our newest Excavator Operator making $70,000-$85,000/Year?!?!

As an Excavator Operator:

• You’ll operate excavators and additional equipment. You’ve been doing this for a while, so you know the ropes! 
• You’ll work in accordance with the Lead Plumbing Installer and crew. Everyone on a plumbing team works together like gears in a machine-- everyone is important!
• You’ll make the customer a priority and pay strong attention to safety. You’ll always be working to improve service, productivity, and efficiency, without sacrificing safety!
• You’ll work flexible hours. People don’t always know when plumbing emergencies are gonna happen, and sometimes they happen on weekends or evenings. 
• You’ll clean heavy equipment daily and as scheduled/required. Taking proper care of your equipment ensures it can serve you well for a long time! If there are ever any problems with your equipment, you can let us know, and we’ll take care of it.        

All About YOU

• You enjoy boring things. No! Not THAT kind of boring. We mean literal boring. Boring underneath sidewalks, driveways, and more! In fact, boring is a lot of fun!
• You have your Class A CDL. We'll work with you to get your DOT Health Card and Intrastate travel as we work in both North and South Carolina.
• You’ve got a watchful eye and strong attention to safety details. 
• You love helping people. Your friends call you an optimist, and you know how to make people feel good.
• Bonus points if you have additional plumbing experience!  Even if you don’t have plumbing experience, you have a desire to learn plumbing, and we can work with that. You’ve been operating excavators for at least a couple years now, and that’s exactly what we need!
