We're hiring. Will train the right person.
Edge Land Services is looking for a labourer who wants to learn to run machines. We're based in 100 Mile House and we do land clearing, earthworks, FireSmart and fencing across the South Cariboo. We're booked right through the winter and we need another set of hands. You could start right away.
You don't need to be an operator to apply. If you're solid, you show up every day and you actually want to learn, I'll train you. Hardly anybody is willing to train people anymore and I think that's backwards. I'd rather build up the right person than wait around for someone who already knows it all.
The job
You're on the ground most days. Running saw, dragging brush, piling slash, building fence, spotting for the excavator, running the packer, whatever the job needs. It's a hard physical job, outside all day in whatever the weather's doing. As you prove yourself you'll get seat time on the skid steer and excavator and work your way into running them. We run a CAT 305 with GPS, a John Deere 335P and a Ram 3500 with dump and gooseneck trailers.
Pay
$24 to $42 an hour depending on what you bring. $24 if you're green but solid and want to learn. The top end is for someone who can actually run the machines, has a Class 3 or heavy trailer endorsement and has their own truck with a slip tank. Raises are based on how you work, not how long you've been here. Overtime is there when a job needs pushing and it's paid properly, time and a half after 8 and double after 12. We're in the process of setting up a benefits plan.
What I need from you
Show up on time, every day. If something comes up, call me the night before, not the morning of. I'm a pretty easy going guy and I'll work around things if you let me know ahead of time. Class 5 and a reliable way to get to 100 Mile House every day. Fit for duty every day, no exceptions. We run a proper safety program, if that bugs you this isn't the place.
Nice to have, none of it required
Class 3 or heavy trailer endorsement
Your own truck with a slip tank/hauling capability
Chainsaw experience or a falling ticket
First aid ticket
Logging, forestry or earthworks background
Usually a 7:30 start, long days when we're pushing a job and the odd weekend. We supply the PPE for the job like chainsaw pants and radios, you bring your boots, hard hat, gloves and work clothes.
Email a resume to [email protected] or call or text 250-329-7356. Doesn't need to be fancy, a few lines on what you've done is plenty. No experience but willing to work? Message me anyways.
