Who You Are

Youre a skilled and safety-conscious operator who takes pride in accuracy and efficiency. You understand that every pass counts and every slope matters. You can adapt to changing site conditions, maintain awareness of your surroundings, and work well with others to get the job done right.

You have :

  • 23 years of experience in Mining or Civil Construction operating a grader
  • Strong knowledge of construction methods, road construction materials, and base / sub-base preparation
