Plant Crew: Machine Operator

4 months ago


Nanaimo, Canada GRT Full time

Do you like working outside while doing good things for the environment? Do you know how to operate and take care of equipment like loaders & excavators? Don’t mind lots of dirt and mud? GRT may be the place for you. GRT’s Resource Regeneration Facility receives trucks & barges of unwanted soil, then washes and sorts the soil to produce clean rock products for reuse.

As a Plant Crew member, you’ll spend your days working hard with our Plant Operators to keep the plant running smoothly and efficiently, while bringing your experience operating heavy equipment on an as-needed basis. When you are operating heavy equipment, you’ll be focused on operating the machine safely, moving material carefully around the site, communicating with the material tracker, and taking care of the machines (pre-trip and post-trip inspections and forms, daily greasing, and maintenance checks). Every day is a little bit different at our plant, so Crew members need to be comfortable responding quickly and safely to directions and changed conditions.

Because our team is small (8-10 people per shift), we like to cross-train all our staff. This means that depending on your interest and aptitude (and our needs) you’ll have the opportunity to develop on-the-job skills in areas like water treatment, plant operations, and material tracking, and that you will be required to help with labour and house keeping.

- Secure and remove special attachments to equipment, clean inside and outside of machines (operated by you or by others), grease, check fluids, and perform basic equipment maintenance
- Remove rubble and other debris at facility and/or project sites using rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, and other equipment; tidy up work areas
- Safely clean up chemical spills and other contaminants

**Educational and Technical Requirements**
- Technical certification or related trade training are an asset
- First Aid and WHMIS certifications an asset
- Must have a valid driver’s license

**Experience**
- Previous, demonstrated work experience in a similar industrial or commercial setting

- Must be able to lift and control equipment and materials up to 50 lbs
- Manual dexterity
- Bending, crouching, and kneeling

- Takes direction well, can follow through on instructions independently, comfortable asking for help when uncertain
- Quickly adapts to changing conditions
- Knack for tools, interest in machinery, like to take care of both (maintains, repairs, checks and cleans)
- Likes to learn, curious about how things work
- Cares about keeping self and others safe
- Interest in the environment, recycling & waste reduction

**Salary**: $28.00-$32.00 per hour
