Job description

Equipment Operator — Camp Wood, TX

Company: Rotten Apple Services Location: Camp Wood, TX (Real County) and surrounding job sites Job Type: Full-Time Compensation: Based on experience

About the Role

Rotten Apple Services is looking for an experienced Equipment Operator to run compact track loaders on land clearing, mulching, and rock crushing projects out of our Camp Wood, TX area jobs. This is hands-on field work — you'll be operating heavy equipment most days, but you should also be comfortable stepping off the machine to run a chainsaw or handle other manual work when the job calls for it.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Operating compact track loaders (CTLs) on active land clearing and land management projects
  • Running forestry mulcher attachments and rock crusher attachments
  • Clearing brush, trees, and vegetation across varied and sometimes rough terrain
  • Occasionally operating other heavy equipment such as excavators or dozers, depending on experience
  • Performing manual work outside the machine when needed — chainsaw work, hand-clearing, cleanup, and general labor support
  • Performing routine equipment checks and basic maintenance to keep machines running in the field
  • Working safely and efficiently, often at remote job sites with limited supervision

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience operating compact track loaders (required)
  • Experience running mulcher and/or rock crusher attachments strongly preferred
  • Broader heavy equipment experience (excavators, dozers, etc.) is a plus
  • Comfortable and competent using a chainsaw for manual clearing work
  • Ability to work independently and use good judgment in the field
  • Reliable, safety-minded, and able to handle physically demanding outdoor work in Texas heat and rough terrain
  • Valid driver's license; ability to travel to job sites in and around Camp Wood and Real County
  • Ability to communicate in both Spanish and English is desired — our field crew works in both languages

What We Offer

  • Steady, full-time work with an established and growing land clearing operation
  • Modern, well-maintained equipment
  • A crew that works hard and looks out for each other

If you know how to run a CTL, aren't afraid of a chainsaw, and want steady work in the Camp Wood area, we'd like to hear from you.
