(But Only If You're Ready to Step Up to the Big Leagues)
Let's be clear—this is not just another operator job. If you're looking for an easy ride, shortcuts, or a cushy gig where no one pushes you, scroll past now.
Who You Are
You're the top performer in your team—but you're bored. You've been carrying more than your share, you know you're capable of more, and you're itching for a bigger challenge. You're looking for recognition and reward that matches the results you produce. You thrive when the pressure's on and you want to be part of building something truly great.
You're the kind of operator who knows that to reap the biggest rewards, you've got to first put in the work and deliver the results.
If you want to be part of a team at the very top of the industry, this is where you prove it.
What You'll Be Up Against
* Challenging projects: Earthworks and drainage packages that demand precision and tight delivery under pressure.
* High expectations: Work must be completed right the first time—no re-work.
* Small-team intensity: With a lean crew, every single person pulls their weight. No passengers here.
* Changing standards: We're not "business as usual." We're building a company that sets the new benchmark in civil earthworks. That takes grit, accountability, and relentless drive.
What We Expect from You
* You can prove your results as an operator — real outcomes, not just talk.
* You hold a clean HR licence and the professionalism to back it.
* You can read plans, run lasers, and set out jobs with accuracy — no stuff-ups.
* You stay until the job's done — excuses don't shift dirt.
* You deliver quality first time, every time — zero re-work.
* You don't wait to be told — you see what needs doing and make it happen.
* You bring a top attitude and relentless work ethic to site every day.
* You're humble, hard-working, and smart enough to know skill means nothing without effort.
* You mentor juniors and set the standard by example.
* You contribute muscle, skill, and ideas to drive the company forward.
* You show up for the team — on site, at events, and in the culture we're building.
What's In It for You
* Top Dollar + vehicle to start
* Upgrade after probation to a brand-new Hilux and tablet
* Paid day off on your birthday (after probation)
* Culture that celebrates wins with BBQs, beers, and laughs—because we work hard, but we know how to enjoy it too
* A seat at the table of a team that's rewriting what "excellent" looks like in civil earthworks
