If you like working outdoors, operating trucks and equipment, and doing work you can actually see at the end of the day, this could be a great fit. This is much more than a driving job.

• Operate trucks and equipment to haul, spread, blade, and place gravel, sand, stone, and other road materials.
• Plow snow and operate attachments such as wing plows, underbody scrapers, spreaders, brooms, and trailers.
• Operate equipment such as loaders, tractors, rollers, brush chippers, power brooms, and Durapatchers.
• Patch blacktop, install or repair signs, guardrails, highway markers, and snow fencing, and assist with other road maintenance and construction projects.

• Perform hands-on work such as shoveling, handling culvert pipe, changing tires and scraper blades, installing tire chains, and using hand and power tools.
• Perform routine equipment checks and preventive maintenance to help keep trucks and equipment ready to work.
• Assist with traffic control, building and grounds maintenance, and other crew duties as needed.
• Work safely around active traffic and in changing road, weather, and seasonal conditions.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

• At least 1 year experience working in road construction and/or road maintenance is preferred.
• Valid Class A CDL with air brake and manual transmission capability required.
• Ability to safely operate trucks, equipment, hand tools, and powered equipment.
