Earthmoving Combo Operator

Excavator / Posi / Tipper Combo Operator
BRUENS Earthmoving – South East Queensland

BRUENS is a family-owned earthmoving and landscaping business working across South East Queensland. We're getting busier and need another experienced combo operator to join the crew.

The job

Most of our work is residential and domestic services – site cuts, trenching, drainage, driveways, landscaping and retaining wall prep. You'll be running excavators, posi-tracks and skidsteers, and driving the tipper to and from site, so you'll need an MR licence at minimum.

You'll also be loading and unloading machines off the truck yourself, so you need to be competent and confident doing this – no hesitation, no near misses. If that's not something you're comfortable with, this isn't the role for you.

You need to be able to turn up, read the job and get on with it without someone standing over you. We keep our gear tidy and our sites clean, and we expect the same from anyone who joins us. When the machine's parked, you'll be off it helping the crew finish the job – that's just how a small team works.

• A steady, well-run crew that looks after its people
