Haliscape Construction is expanding and looking for a reliable **Equipment Operator** to support our growing residential construction and landscaping projects. This role offers steady, year-round work operating excavators, loaders, and skid steers for excavation, grading, and material movement.

- Assist with snow clearing operations during winter months

**What We’re Looking For**
- Minimum 2 years’ experience with heavy equipment (excavator and/or loader)
- Strong awareness of safety protocols and job site best practices
- Ability to switch between machine operation and physical labour tasks
- Mechanical aptitude for small repairs and preventative checks
- Valid Class 5 driver’s licence and dependable transportation (sites not accessible by transit)
- Willingness to work outdoors in all weather conditions
- Dependable, safety-focused, and team-oriented work ethic

**Nice-to-Have Skills**
- Skid steer operating experience (especially foot-controlled)
- First Aid or other relevant certifications
- Experience with drainage installation, finish grading, or hardscaping

**Why Work With Us**
- Hourly rate of $26-$32, based on ability and experience
- Consistent full-time hours, year-round — no seasonal layoffs
- Opportunities to grow your skillset and advance within the company
- Supportive team environment where everyone’s contribution matters
- Projects throughout Halifax and the West Bedford area

**Job Details**
- Type: Permanent, full-time
- Hours: 35-45 per week
- Schedule: Monday-Friday, with some Saturdays depending on workload
- Start: Immediate
- Language: English required
- Location: Field-based (must have own transportation)

Pay: $26.00-$32.00 per hour

Application question(s):

- Loader: 1 year (preferred)
- Skid Steer: 1 year (preferred)
