Heavy Equipment Operator – Make an Impact at C&D Scrap Metal

Ready to take the wheel in a fast-paced, hands-on role where your skills and grit truly matter? Join a crew that keeps Houston’s metal moving and brings pride to the recycling industry.

If you're the kind of operator who knows how to get things DONE , this is your next move.

🚜 What You’ll Do

Be the driving force behind our daily yard operations :

Own the yard flow under Supervisor direction — you’re the one who keeps things running on time and on target.

Load and unload materials with precision and confidence using loaders, excavators, crane material handlers, and forklifts.

Support the metal processing crew — sort, prep, and help us move materials to the finish line.

Put safety first — inspect equipment, gear up with PPE, and report anything that looks off.

Keep your machinery humming — perform basic maintenance and alert us to any issues fast.

Be a standout with customers — make every drop-off feel smooth, welcoming, and professional.

Keep it clean — help us keep the yard organized, safe, and efficient.

📆 Schedule & Locations

  • Full-time role
  • Occasional travel to satellite locations for operational support
  • 🔍 Who We’re Looking For

    You’re not just an equipment operator — you’re a problem-solver, team player, and safety champion.

  • At least 2 years operating heavy equipment (loaders, excavators, crane material handlers)
  • Minimum 1 year in industrial or scrap yard environments

  • Strong stamina, hand-eye coordination, and attention to detail
  • Able to thrive independently and work without being micromanaged
  • Committed to doing the job safely, smartly, and professionally

  • Willing to work outdoors, no matter the weather
  • Open to learning new tech and tools — we evolve and so should you
