Job Description

  • Full-time $26
  • $35 an hour
Full-time Company Overview:
Graf Custom Construction is a custom home builder and general contractor. Among other items, we self perform our own excavation and site development projects, along with subcontracting excavation and utility installation services to numerous other clients. We are looking to add one or two additional team members to our crews. We are a small company based out of Harmony, PA, and we take our employee relationships seriously. We expect a high level of decency, honorable action, honesty, and transparency from all ends of our employees; top to bottom, office and field. By such effort and action, we have been fortunate to have very low employee turnover by investing in long term relationships with our team.
WE ARE NOT
PERFECT, but we try hard for our people, and we do our best to make things right if we screw up. We simply ask the same in return. In a day-in-age where it is hard to find an employer who cares, or employees who do the same, we will hold out to find the right fit for our team. We are not looking for folks with drama-filled existence which cause the rest of us more of the same. Essentially, in a nutshell we want people who
ACTUALLY
want to work and in turn want a good company to work with. We are a multi-faceted company that also operates sister companies; Seneca Foundations (poured-in-place concrete foundation company), Graf Concrete Pumping (concrete placement company), and Liberty Dumpster Service(Roll-off container service). If there are skills that you posses that could benefit other areas of our other companies, please let us know!

  • Excavation for residential and commercial foundations and footings
  • Follow project plans and specifications to complete assigned tasks
  • Conduct routine maintenance and inspections on equipment.
  • Although we are looking for a "machine operator," it is understood that as part of machine operation, working in the ditch or "outside of the cab" on whatever the scope of work is, is expected at times. This is not a job for a "joystick jockey."
  • Ensure compliance with safety regulations and OSHA protocols.
  • Reliability and good overall demeanor is required and expected.
  • Willingness to learn and also potentially teach
Experience:
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience operating heavy equipment.
