Kieswetter Excavating Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned excavating contractor based in St. Clements, ON, working on some of Waterloo Region's highest-profile civil construction projects — site grading, site servicing, sewer and watermain, and earthworks.

- Continuous, year-round work (not seasonal layoffs).
- Group benefits and company perks.

What you'll do:

- Operate excavators, dozers, or other heavy equipment on active civil sites.
- Perform daily equipment inspections and routine maintenance checks.
- Read and work to grade stakes, levels, and trenching plans.




- Flag and communicate equipment issues or unsafe site conditions immediately.
- Follow Kieswetter's safety program and site-specific protocols.
- Coordinate with the site supervisor on project layout, locates, and daily production targets.

What you bring:

- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation to job sites across Waterloo Region.
- Previous experience operating heavy equipment in construction, excavation, or a similar outdoor trade.
- Working knowledge of grades, levels, and trenching.
- Physical stamina for full days on an active job site.
