- Maintain production while prioritizing safety and equipment care.
- Perform daily equipment inspections and report maintenance needs.
- Follow all site safety protocols, MSHA/OSHA requirements, and company standards.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience operating K-Tec pans or similar scraper equipment.
- Proven experience in mass grading, earthmoving, and dirt balancing.
- Strong understanding of grades, slopes, and production flow.
- Ability to work in fast-paced, production-driven environments.
- OSHA 10 required / OSHA 30 preferred.
- Valid driver’s license; CDL a strong plus.
- MSHA experience or willingness to obtain certification preferred.
Why iHawl
- Steady, large-scale dirt work with respected GCs and developers.
- Well-maintained equipment and crews that know how to work together.
- Competitive pay + consistent overtime opportunities.
