Not just an operator. A problem-solver. A utility pro. A crew multiplier. We’re looking for a versatile Heavy Equipment Operator with underground utility and mainline installation experience who can confidently run an excavator, backhoe, and loader on civil construction projects across the Lower Mainland.

- Excavating and preparing trenches for water, sanitary, and storm mainline installation
- Supporting mainline pipe installation including bedding, pipe placement, and backfilling
- Trenching and fine grading for storm, sanitary, and water systems
- Operating around live utilities (gas, hydro, fiber, water)
- Loader work: truck loading, pipe/material handling, stockpile management
- Backhoe work: service tie-ins, roadside and tight-access digging
- Supporting foremen and ground crews to keep projects safe and on schedule
- Following WorkSafeBC trench safety and traffic control standards

We’re looking for someone who can:

- Operate independently without step-by-step supervision
- Dig accurately for mainline pipe installation and maintain grade
