We are seeking an experienced Dozer Operator with a strong background in GPS machine control, finish grading, mass earthwork production, and site development. The ideal candidate will be skilled in operating bulldozers equipped with GPS grading systems to achieve accurate grades, elevations, slopes, and drainage requirements while maintaining efficient production. The successful candidate must be safety-conscious, dependable, and able to work independently while coordinating with other equipment operators and field personnel to meet project schedules and specifications. Key Responsibilities Safely and efficiently operate bulldozers for mass earthwork, rough grading, finish grading, and site preparation. Operate GPS-equipped dozers to achieve required grades, elevations, slopes, and drainage patterns according to construction plans and project specifications. Perform finish grading for building pads, roadways, parking lots, ponds, stormwater facilities, and other site development projects. Execute cut-and-fill operations, material spreading, embankment construction, and subgrade preparation. Maintain grade accuracy while achieving production goals and minimizing unnecessary material movement. Interpret construction plans, grading plans, elevations, slope requirements, and GPS machine control displays. Verify GPS system operation, recognize grade discrepancies, and communicate equipment or calibration issues to the appropriate personnel. Coordinate with excavator operators, haul truck drivers, survey crews, and other field personnel to maintain efficient earthwork operations. Perform daily equipment inspections and report mechanical issues, damage, or maintenance needs. Maintain awareness of underground utilities, changing ground conditions, jobsite hazards, and surrounding personnel. Follow company safety policies, OSHA requirements, and project-specific safety procedures. Maintain equipment cleanliness and assist with general earthwork operations as needed. Qualifications and Experience Proven experience operating bulldozers on earthwork, grading, and site development projects. Demonstrated experience using GPS machine control systems for grading operations. Strong finish grading skills, including the ability to achieve precise elevations, slopes, and drainage requirements. Ability to interpret grading plans, construction drawings, GPS displays, and grade-control information. Experience with mass earthwork production, cut-and-fill operations, material spreading, and subgrade preparation. Understanding of soil conditions, compaction requirements, drainage, and proper grading techniques. Ability to recognize grade issues and communicate effectively with supervisors and survey personnel. Commitment to safe equipment operation, quality workmanship, and maintaining production schedules. Dependable attendance and ability to work extended hours as project demands require. Preferred Qualifications Experience with GPS machine control systems such as Trimble, Topcon, or Leica. Experience operating modern GPS-equipped dozers on large-scale earthwork and site development projects. Experience finish grading building pads, roadways, parking lots, ponds, and stormwater management facilities. Familiarity with digital grading models, 3D machine control, and electronic design files. Experience coordinating grading operations with excavators, motor graders, rollers, and haul trucks. Physical Requirements Ability to sit and operate heavy equipment for extended periods. Ability to safely climb on and off equipment. Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions and changing jobsite environments. Ability to meet the physical demands of a construction environment. Performance Expectations The successful candidate will demonstrate safe and efficient dozer operation, proficiency with GPS machine control, consistent production, and the ability to achieve accurate finish grades with minimal rework. The operator must maintain quality standards, communicate effectively with the field team, and contribute to completing projects safely, accurately, and on schedule.
