Nanaimo, Canada GRT Full time

Do you like working outside while doing good things for the environment? Do you know how to operate equipment like loaders & excavators? Are you unafraid of a little dirt & mud? Were you one of those kids who always had cool rocks in your pocket? 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 Operators to keep the plant running smoothly and efficiently, while bringing your experience operating heavy equipment on an as-needed basis. Every day is a little bit different at our plant, so Crew members need to be very comfortable responding quickly and safely to directions.
