About Us: We are a premier real estate development and construction management firm specializing in high-density multi-family residential projects across British Columbia. We build complex 3-storey multiplexes with common underground parking facilities in municipalities like Burnaby and Coquitlam. We operate with a strict adherence to physics, the BC Building Code, and WorkSafeBC regulations.
The Role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Excavator Operator (Zero-Tail Swing, 14-20 Ton) who speaks fluent "Job Site." You are not just moving dirt; you are our first line of risk mitigation. You will navigate extremely tight lot lines, deep excavations, and critical urban infrastructure.
Core Responsibilities:

- Work seamlessly under the supervision of our Geotechnical Engineers for soil removal, site preparation, and the placement and compaction of engineered fill.
- Navigate meticulously around established Tree Protection Zones (TPZ) and critical root zones as dictated by our Arborist reports.
- Maintain strict compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations, municipal bylaws, and safety procedures to prevent adjacent property encroachment.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 10+ years of heavy equipment operation, specifically in Metro Vancouver urban residential excavations.
- Equipment Mastery: Expert proficiency with mid-sized zero-tail swing excavators, required to navigate strict spatial separations and 1.2m side yard setbacks.
- Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of shotcrete shoring support, underpinning, trenching safety, and reading civil/geotechnical blueprints.
- Risk Management: Flawless track record with BC One Call utility locates and working around live city infrastructure.
