    • Assist with rigging operations using chains, cables, and winches.

    • Use hydraulic tools, welding equipment, cutting torches, electrical tools, and common hand tools.

    • Support specialized lifting, material transfers, grading, equipment positioning, and construction-related activities.

    • Monitor vehicles and machinery to ensure they remain in safe operating condition.

    • Perform and document basic equipment maintenance and report more complex mechanical issues.

    • Assist with equipment breakdown, loading, and transportation after completing assignments.

    • Restock vehicles and equipment, organize supplies, and maintain clean work areas.

    • Help with shop maintenance, preventive maintenance (PMs), and safety training during downtime.

    • Follow all company safety procedures and maintain equipment in operational condition.

    • Assist other departments as needed to support daily operations.

Qualifications

Required:

  • Valid Class A Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) with a good driving record.

  • Not an over-the-road (OTR) driving position.
