Full Job Description

At Bougalis Inc., we don’t just dig holes — we craft landscapes, raise skylines, and occasionally scare the pants off surveyors (in a good way). We need an Equipment Operator who treats machines like dance partners: fluid, precise, and powerful.

One moment you’ll be taming a skid steer like it’s a rodeo bull, the next you’re orchestrating a 50-ton crane like it’s a baton in a symphony. Loader buckets? An extension of your arms. Dump trucks? You reverse those in tighter spaces than most people park a Prius.

If you’ve ever been accused of having hydraulic fluid in your veins, you just might be our next operator.

Qualifications

  • Must be fluent in Excavator-ese, Loader-ese, and Crane-ese (skid steer is optional but strongly encouraged).
  • Ability to tell at least three hilarious jobsite stories that involve mud, a broken shovel, and a near miss with a porta-potty.
  • Must have an internal GPS more accurate than Google Maps.
  • CDL or other licenses helpful, but the true qualification is the ability to make 40 tons of steel feel weightless.
  • Extra credit if you can parallel park a dump truck better than your neighbor parks their minivan.

Duties

  • Operate excavators, skid steers, loaders, dump trucks, and cranes with the grace of a ballerina and the precision of a brain surgeon.
  • Move earth, gravel, and sometimes egos from one place to another.
  • Perform daily equipment checks, because machines need love too.
  • Wave confidently at gawkers who think they could “totally do that” (they can’t).
  • Be the calm in the storm when plans change, dirt shifts, or someone says, “Can you just move that pile real quick?” for the 47th time today.

Compensation

Wage Range:
$25.00 - $35.00/hr
