What You Bring

  • Valid Class 1 driver's licence with air brake endorsement.
  • Ability to operate a manual transmission (required).
  • Experience operating heavy equipment such as loaders, excavators, or dozers.
  • Clean driver's abstract.
  • Ability to complete pre-trip inspections and basic vehicle and equipment checks.
  • Physically able to perform load securement, unloading, and equipment operation tasks.
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol test.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience in construction or hauling environments.
  • Oilfield safety tickets such as H2S Alive and CSTS.
  • Experience operating a range of equipment types across different site conditions.
  • Familiarity with Fort St. John and northern BC road and site conditions.
  • Load securement and cargo handling experience.

Work Environment

  • Active construction and hauling sites in and around Fort St. John and northern BC.
  • Work alternates between driving and operating heavy equipment through the day.
  • Exposure to varying weather, seasonal, and remote site conditions.
  • Physical tasks including climbing in and out of the cab and equipment, and load securement.
  • Personal protective equipment required on site.

What We Offer

  • Hourly rate of $30.00 to $40.00 based on experience and qualifications.
  • Opportunities for overtime based on operational requirements.
  • Life insurance: $100,000 employee / $10,000 spouse / $5,000 per child.
  • AD&D insurance with critical illness and cancer coverage.
  • Extended health care: drugs, hospital, hearing, orthotics, nursing.
  • Paramedical services: chiro, physio, massage, mental health (annual coverage).
  • Vision care: glasses, contacts, laser surgery, and exams.
  • Dental care: 80% basic ($2,500), 50% major ($2,500), $2,500 ortho for children.
