• Perform routine inspections, basic maintenance, and pre / post-operation checks to keep equipment operating at peak performance.
• Apply safety procedures at all times to protect yourself, your coworkers, and the work area.
• Work closely with the yard and production teams to coordinate movements and avoid bottlenecks.
• Maintain precise records of loads and material movements; promptly report any variances.
• Assist with onboarding and coaching new operators on safe, effective equipment use.

What you bring

If you’re energized by heavy machinery, safety, and teamwork, we’d love to hear from you.
