How You Can Help Us Make a Difference Are you someone who enjoys working with heavy equipment and seeing the results of your work take shape every day? In this role, you'll operate heavy trucks, tractors, and a wide range of medium-sized equipment to support public works, utilities, parks, landfill, and construction projects that keep our community running smoothly. From roadways and storm drainage systems to landscaping and excavation work, your skills will help maintain and improve essential County infrastructure. You'll spend most of your time behind the controls—safely operating equipment such as dump trucks, loaders, excavators, backhoes, graders, mowers, and other specialized machinery. Your work may include grading, ditching, leveling, hauling materials, and assisting with construction and maintenance activities. You'll also use hand and power tools, load and unload materials, and keep job sites clean and safe. In addition to operating equipment, you'll perform routine maintenance and minor adjustments, set up work zones to protect crews and the public, and complete daily or weekly activity reports. At times, you may assist with the handling of hazardous materials, always following proper safety procedures. If you take pride in safe equipment operation, enjoy hands-on outdoor work, and want a role where your efforts directly support your community, this position offers a dependable, impactful way to put your skills to work every day.
