WE’RE HIRING: EXPERIENCED RESIDENTIAL DIRT WORK OPERATOR
Dirt Lab is looking for an experienced operator who understands that residential dirt work is its own animal.
We’re not looking for someone who simply knows how to move dirt or run a machine. We’re looking for someone who understands the full scope of residential work, pays attention to detail, can work in tight spaces, and knows how important it is to protect homes, concrete, utilities, and the work of other trades.
This is also not a sit-in-the-cab-all-day position. Our operators are expected to get out of the machine when the job requires it, use hand tools, perform manual labor, and do what needs to be done to finish the job correctly.
What we’re looking for:
• Proven residential dirt work experience
• Experience with rough and final grading
• Ability to operate skid steers, excavators, loaders, and other equipment
• Willingness to use hand tools and perform manual labor when needed
• Ability to work independently and problem-solve in the field
• Strong communication and teamwork
• Pride in leaving behind a clean, professional finished product
• Dependability and a strong work ethic
What we offer:
• Full-time position
• $25–$30/hour depending on experience
• Year-round work
• Opportunities to work at the shop when weather shuts down field work
• Well-maintained equipment
• A small team where everyone is expected to pull their weight and take pride in what we do
Residential dirt work experience is required.
If you’re the kind of operator who understands that being good at this job means more than sitting in a machine, we’d like to talk.
