About this role
Davis Earthworks Inc. is a heavy civil site development and earthmoving contractor based in Thomaston, Georgia. We clear, grade, and build the groundwork for projects across the region — living our commitment to being Builders of Opportunity, creating the groundwork for growth, one project at a time. We're hiring an experienced Dozer Operator to join our field crew and help move our projects from raw ground to finished grade. What You'll Do: Operate bulldozers safely and productively for land clearing, stripping, cut-and-fill, and rough and finish grading. Push, spread, and level soil and material to grade using grade stakes, benchmarks, and/or GPS machine control. Build and maintain haul roads, building pads, and slopes according to the grading plan. Maintain positive site drainage and support erosion-control measures such as silt fence and check dams. Complete daily pre- and post-operation equipment inspections and report any defects promptly. Work closely with grade checkers, spotters, and other operators, keeping a safe distance from ground personnel. Follow all site safety procedures, daily toolbox talks, and stop-work authority. What We're Looking For: 3+ years of dozer operation experience preferred. Ability to read grade stakes and follow a grading plan; GPS grade-control experience (Trimble, Topcon, or similar) is a plus. Working knowledge of site development, earthmoving, and OSHA job-site safety. Dependable, safety-minded, and able to work outdoors in varying conditions. Valid driver's license and able to pass pre-employment screening. Why Davis Earthworks: Competitive hourly pay — negotiable based on your experience. Company-paid holidays. Steady work and real room to grow with a company built on developing its people.
