The Role

You will be pushing overburden and muskeg, building and maintaining haul roads, prepping pads and lease sites, and working reclamation and tailings areas.



Machines run from D6 class up to D10 and D11 depending on the job. Work runs year round, so you are moving wet ground in the spring and frost in the winter on the same sites.

What You'll Do

Push overburden, muskeg, and sand on mine and construction spreads, holding grade and slope

Cut, crown, and maintain haul roads and access roads so truck traffic keeps moving

Build and level pads, lease sites, and laydown areas to stakes, laser, or GPS machine control

Rip frost and hardpan and work wet or soft ground without getting the machine stuck

Support reclamation and tailings work, including topsoil placement and contouring

Complete daily walkarounds, pre-trip inspections, and greasing before the machine moves

Take part in pre-job safety meetings, hazard assessments, and toolbox talks each shift

What You Bring

Verifiable dozer seat time in oil sands, mining, or heavy civil construction

Able to hold grade and slope without someone standing over you

Comfortable working around haul truck and shovel traffic, days and nights

Valid Class 5 licence and reliable transportation to the pickup point
