* Experience: Minimum of 5 years as an Excavator Operator (Mini & Full-size proficiency is a must). * Technical Skill: Deep knowledge of excavation techniques; specific experience in basement digging is highly valued as well as deep services. * Blueprint Literacy: Ability to read plans and maintain grade/elevations independently. * Mechanical Aptitude: You know your machine and how to keep it running smoothly. * Physical Fitness: Ready to jump out of the cab and assist the labor crew whenever necessary.
