Combo Operators are skilled workers who operate multiple types of heavy machinery or equipment, often on construction sites, oilfields, or in industrial settings. They are trained to handle equipment such as excavators, loaders, backhoes, and sometimes trucks, switching between machines as project needs demand.

A Combo Operator typically operates combination vacuum and hydro-excavation trucks to safely remove debris, liquids, or soil from worksites. Daily tasks include inspecting and maintaining equipment, ensuring proper setup of the job site, and adhering to safety protocols. Combo Operators work closely with site supervisors, laborers, and other operators to coordinate activities and efficiently complete projects. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as the role often requires adapting to changing site conditions and supporting other crew members as needed.

To thrive as a Combo Operator, you need a solid understanding of operating both vacuum trucks and hydro-excavation equipment, along with a high school diploma or equivalent and a valid commercial driver’s license (CDL).
