Are you the right fit?
Looking for a dynamic, hands-on role in a supportive team? Hydro excavation is the future of safe, precise digging, and we need someone who’s ready to get involved! We're hoping you'll be enthusiastic and have a can-do attitude, along with good communication skills. We're all about trust and loyalty here. Our team is built on a strong buddy system for most of our work, so you've got to like working as a team.
As a Hydro Excavation Operator, you’ll operate high-pressure water equipment to safely break up soil and use vacuum systems to remove debris, all while working around sensitive areas like underground utilities. This role is physically demanding, requiring you to manage equipment, control water pressure, and oversee the excavation process.
A background in hydro excavation is ideal!

The technical stuff you'll need includes:
- previous Hydro excavation experience is a plus
- Class 2 license
- Physically fit
It's a physical job but one we're sure you'll enjoy. After all, you'll be working with an awesome crew who look out for each other and love a bit of banter.
