Excavator Operator
You know how to run an excavator—and you deliver. We're looking for experienced Excavator Operators who can work safely, move efficiently, and keep production on track in a fast-paced telecom construction environment. This is hands-on work building critical infrastructure—no shortcuts, no wasted movement. At Ledcor, you'll be part of a crew that gets the job done right, supporting large-scale, high-speed telecommunications projects that have real impact. This is a long-term career opportunity, with steady work and rotational travel every 4 weeks across Nevada and surrounding states. If you're reliable, safety-focused, and take pride in clean, efficient work, you'll fit right in. Come build something that lasts—with a team that expects the best and backs it up.
Essential Responsibilities:
- Operate excavators for trenching, backfilling, grading, and utility installation in a fast-paced telecom construction environment
- Safely excavate around live underground utilities including power and telecommunications—no shortcuts
- Read and execute work using utility locates, site plans, and construction drawings
- Support crews with conduit placement and cable installation to keep production moving
- Complete daily inspections and basic maintenance checks to keep equipment running reliably
- Step in on general construction tasks when needed—team-first mindset
- Communicate clearly with crew and supervisors to stay aligned and hit daily targets
Qualifications:
- Minimum 5 years of excavator experience in utilities or construction environments

- Solid ability to read drawings and interpret utility locates

- Living Out Allowance (LOA) provided

- Full health, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching
- Outdoor, hands-on work in variable conditions—this is a field role, not a cab-only job
