Job description

HIRING NOW: Heavy Equipment Operators & Foreman – Up to $45/hr – Columbus, Cincinnati & Dayton, OH


Direct Hire from Day 1 | Relocation Assistance Up to $7,500 | Full Benefits Day 1 | No CDL Required

We are hiring Heavy Equipment Operators and a Foreman to join underground utility and telecom construction crews across Columbus, Cincinnati, and Dayton, Ohio — including work supporting major data center infrastructure projects. These are direct hire positions, not temp and not contract, with pay and benefits starting immediately.


Pay:

  • Foreman (4–10+ years experience): $40–$45/hr
  • Operator, Level II & III (3–5 years experience): $37–$42/hr


Why You'll Want This Job:

  • Direct hire — you're a full employee from day one, not a temp
  • Relocation assistance paid: $5,000–$7,500
  • Medical, Dental & Vision start Day 1 — employer-paid at 80%
  • 10 paid holidays per year
  • PTO: 80–120 hours
  • Company truck, home-garaged for Foreman
  • No CDL required to apply


What You'll Do:

  • Operate heavy equipment on underground utility and telecom construction projects
  • Install conduit and manholes for telecom and data center infrastructure
  • Dig deep excavations — 12 to 15 feet — safely around live/active utilities
  • Work with trench boxes; double-stack trench box experience is a big plus
  • Read site plans, grade stakes, and utility markings
  • Foreman: lead a crew, manage daily production, and keep the site safe


Who We're Looking For:

Foreman:

  • 4–10+ years of experience in utility or telecom construction
  • Proven experience leading a crew on excavation or underground utility jobs

Operators (Level II & III):

  • 3–5 years running heavy equipment, ideally large track excavators with long-arm attachments
  • Deep excavation experience (12'+) preferred

Great backgrounds for either role:

  • Utilities, telecom, gas, water, or municipal construction experience
  • Double-stack trench box experience
  • Data center construction experience
  • Willing and able to relocate to Columbus, Cincinnati, or Dayton, OH
