Job description

Far North Queensland | Regional & Remote Projects

Robinson Civil Group (RCG) is a well-established, family-owned civil construction company based on the Atherton Tablelands. We deliver road construction, rehabilitation and civil infrastructure projects throughout Far North Queensland, with a strong pipeline of ongoing work.

The Work

This position is specifically suited to an experienced grader operator with strong final trim capability and a sound understanding of road construction, pavement and earthworks.

We're looking for demonstrated experience in:

• Final trim grader operations
• GPS and/or UTS machine control
• Road formation and pavement construction
• Earthworks and civil construction
• Working accurately to levels, tolerances and project specifications
• Experience operating additional plant such as excavators, loaders, skid steers, rollers or backhoes will be an advantage, as will an HR or HC licence and civil truck-driving experience

While multi-skilled operators are highly valued at RCG, final trim grader experience is the key requirement for this role.

Why Join RCG?

We know experienced operators have options. At RCG, we offer:

• Competitive hourly rates + penalty rates
• Work away allowance and paid travel time
• Plenty of opportunities for overtime and good hours
• Stable, ongoing employment with an established FNQ civil contractor
• A variety of projects and locations – not the same job every day
• Opportunities for additional training and competencies
• A practical, supportive and down-to-earth team environment
• The opportunity to work with experienced supervisors and civil construction crews
• RCG is also a recipient of the Australian Training Award and Queensland Training Award, reflecting our long-standing commitment to developing and training our people.

About You

You’ll be an experienced grader operator who takes pride in producing accurate work, understands the requirements of final trim and is comfortable working as part of a civil construction crew.

You’ll need:

• Demonstrated grader operating experience in civil construction, roadworks or earthworks
• Construction Industry White Card
• Current driver’s licence
• A strong commitment to safety
• Ability to work away from home on regional and remote projects
• Willingness to complete a pre-employment medical, including drug & alcohol testing

You don't need to tick every box. If you're a capable operator with solid civil experience and the right attitude, we'd still like to hear from you.
