Finish Blade / Motor Grader Operator
Top Pay | Local Work | Home Every Night
ABCI is looking for an experienced Finish Blade / Motor Grader Operator who takes pride in clean, accurate dirt work.
We are a respected civil construction contractor with steady local projects, long-term employees, and a strong reputation for quality. This is not a "seat-filler" position. We need a skilled operator who can run a blade, hold grade, work with the crew, and help finish jobs the right way.
What You'll Be Running
You'll operate a CAT M-Series motor grader on civil construction projects, performing fine grading, finish work, and production support. Trimble GPS experience is strongly preferred.
What You'll Do
  • Run a CAT M-Series motor grader for finish blade and fine-grade work
  • Use Trimble GPS to cut and maintain accurate grade
  • Work with foremen, grade checkers, and crews to meet production goals
  • Perform daily equipment inspections
  • Handle basic maintenance and report major issues early
  • Work safely and follow company and OSHA procedures
  • Work overtime when weather or project schedules require it
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of motor grader / finish blade experience
  • Strong fine-grade experience required
  • Trimble GPS experience preferred
  • Valid driver's license
  • Reliable, safety-minded, and professional
  • Good communication with foremen and crew members
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening
What We Offer
  • Top pay for skilled finish blade operators
  • Full-time, year-round work
  • Local projects - home every night
  • Well-maintained equipment
  • Respect for experienced operators
  • Strong company culture with long-term employees
  • Growth opportunities for operators who want them
Why ABCI?
At ABCI, good operators are treated like craftsmen. We know finish blade work takes skill, patience, and pride. If you can hold grade, work safely, and help deliver quality projects, we want to talk with you.
Apply today and run a blade where your experience is valued.
ABCI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vets.
