Island Iron Excavation LTD – Campbell River, BC

Pay: $38.00–$50.00 per hour, depending on experience and ability

Island Iron Excavation LTD is looking to add an experienced and reliable Equipment Operator / Construction Labourer to our crew.

We are a busy excavation company working on a wide variety of residential and commercial projects. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable operating equipment but is also willing to get out of the machine and work alongside the crew when required.

Grading and material placement

Rock work and landscaping

Residential and commercial excavation

General civil and construction work

What We’re Looking For The ideal candidate will have previous experience operating excavators and skid steers and a good understanding of excavation and construction work.

This is not strictly an operator position. We are a smaller crew, and everyone is expected to help wherever needed. Some days may involve running equipment most of the day, while others will include labouring, pipe installation, grade work, concrete prep, retaining walls and other hands-on construction tasks.

Experience with drainage, retaining walls, concrete prep, grading and general excavation is a robust asset.

We’re looking for someone who:

Has excavator and skid steer operating experience

Is reliable and shows up on time ready to work

Has good job-site awareness and common sense





Can take direction and also work independently

Wants to learn, improve and take on more responsibility over time

Experience & Wage

Starting wage is $38.00–$50.00 per hour and will be based on experience, operating ability and overall construction knowledge.

The higher end of the wage range is for someone who can work efficiently and independently, read grades, plan out their work, operate equipment proficiently, troubleshoot problems on site and complete jobs with minimal supervision.

Previous excavation or construction experience is preferred. We are especially interested in applicants with experience in drainage, retaining walls, concrete preparation, grading, pipe installation and operating around existing homes and utilities.

We’re willing to pay well for the right person who can take responsibility for their work, maintain a high standard of workmanship and help keep jobs moving efficiently.

Please apply with a resume or a brief description of your previous experience, including:

Years of excavation/construction experience
