**Join Haliscape Construction for steady, year-round work with premium pay during snow events**
We’re hiring reliable and skilled heavy equipment operators to operate a variety of machinery, including excavators, front loaders, and skid steers, for landscaping, excavation, site preparation, and on-call winter snow removal across West Bedford, Dartmouth, and other HRM areas.
Full-time, permanent role — no seasonal layoffs, premium snow pay, and hands-on outdoor work all year.

**About the Role**
Haliscape Construction is seeking a dependable Heavy Equipment Operator to join our year-round team. As we transition into winter, this position includes on-call snow removal responsibilities, making it ideal for operators who want steady employment and higher pay during snow events while maintaining full-time hours throughout the year.

You’ll operate excavators, loaders, and skid steers for residential landscaping and site preparation projects, as well as commercial snow removal operations throughout West Bedford, Dartmouth, and other HRM areas.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Safely operate excavators, loaders, and skid steers for grading, trenching, loading, and site preparation.
- Perform daily equipment inspections, basic maintenance, and ensure safe operation.
- Assist with ground-level snow removal (shoveling, salting, and clearing smaller areas).
- Support the crew with general labour tasks such as raking, shoveling, and site cleanup.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and organized job site at all times.

**Qualifications**
- Minimum 2 years of professional experience operating excavators, loaders, or skid steers.
- Snow removal experience (plowing, loading, or equipment operation during winter) is an asset.
- Valid Class 5 driver’s licence and reliable transportation — job sites are not accessible by public transit.
- Mechanically inclined, safety-focused, and physically fit (able to lift up to 55 lbs).
- Dependable, punctual, and able to work well in a team.
- Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.

**Why Join Haliscape**
- Competitive pay: $26-$32/hour, based on skills and experience.
- Premium pay for snow removal hours.
- Full-time, year-round position — no layoffs between seasons.
- Supportive, safety-minded team environment.
- Opportunities for training and growth.

**Working Conditions**
- Outdoor work in all weather conditions — heat, rain, cold, and snow.
- Must be available on-call 24/7 during snow events (premium hourly rate applies).
- Required PPE: safety vest, steel-toe boots, and gloves

**Important Information**
- Applicants must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident.
- Haliscape Construction does not provide immigration or work permit sponsorship (including the Atlantic Immigration Program or any other PR/work visa support).
- Only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted directly via Indeed.

Pay: $26.00-$32.00 per hour

Application question(s):

- Do you have reliable transportation to travel to job sites throughout HRM (not accessible by public transit)?
