The Project
We're hiring a small crew of experienced labourers and heavy equipment operators for a trail improvement project in Collingwood. The project is expected to last over 3 months, beginning in mid to late August. Because the site is farther than most of our regular work locations, you must be able to travel to and from Collingwood on your own. While this is a project-based role, we hope to be able to offer permanent opportunities to strong performers.
About Us
Since 2010, we've delivered quality, service, and safety across utility, infrastructure, environmental, and landscape construction. We're proud recipients of WSIB's Gold-level Small Business Health and Safety Leadership Award, multiple IHSA Recognition of Performance Achievement Milestones, and COR certification.

Our values are our foundation
And our team is the foundation of our success. We value courtesy, ambition, and problem-solving — always striving for win-win outcomes. We show gratitude through honesty and reliability, and we prioritize wellness by upholding a strong health and safety culture that exceeds industry standards.

The Role
As a heavy equipment operator, you'll be spending most of your time working with a variety of heavy machinery, primarily excavators but also including bulldozers, loaders, skidsteers and rollers, while making sure that the machines are in good working order. There will be many different tasks from day to day, so we need someone who's competent and willing to learn new skills. We also want someone who can work independently and can take initiative when there are unexpected challenges.

We offer competitive pay and hours and plenty of opportunity for growth and promotion. Here, you can build a career!

Working With Us
We build lasting, collaborative relationships and aim for high-quality solutions, not just completed tasks. Health and safety are non-negotiable, with ongoing training and strict COR standards in place.
We take on challenging, multi-disciplinary projects where success means a win for all. And we celebrate success — with bonuses, team events, and recognition for hard work.
