Sparwood British Columbia VB G Canada MacKay Contracting Full time

Production Excavator Operator

Sparwood, British Columbia
7x7 Rotation | 12 Hour Shifts

Where Production Sets the Pace

For over 40 years, MacKay Contracting has delivered large scale earthworks, mine infrastructure, highways, and complex civil construction across Western Canada. When production matters and schedules are tight, our crews move ground safely, efficiently, and with purpose.

We are hiring a Production Excavator Operator who takes pride in clean truck loading, steady cycle times, and keeping material moving throughout the shift. This role is focused on output, consistency, and safe execution.

How You Will Make an Impact

As a Production Excavator Operator at MacKay, your work directly influences productivity, safety, and overall job success. Your decisions at the controls affect cycle times, truck flow, and the ability of the crew to execute the plan safely and efficiently.

You are not just operating equipment. You are setting the rhythm of the job.

What You Will Get to Do

  • Load haul trucks safely and consistently in a high production environment
  • Maintain strong situational awareness around trucks, spotters, and ground crews
  • Read ground conditions and adjust to changing site conditions
  • Communicate clearly using radio, hand signals, and verbal direction
  • Complete pre operation inspections, logbooks, and light servicing
  • Keep your equipment clean and well maintained
  • Identify hazards early and take action to keep yourself and others safe
  • Support the crew when needed to keep production moving

Who This Role Is For

This role is for an operator who measures success through safe production and consistency rather than just hours worked.

You bring:

  • Experience operating excavators in production, mining, or mass earthworks environments
  • A solid understanding of truck loading practices and site flow
  • Knowledge of construction layout and staking
  • Experience with 3D machine control systems which is an asset but not required
  • A valid driver's licence with a clean abstract
  • A safety first mindset every shift

Schedule and Pay

  • Based out of Sparwood, British Columbia
  • Seven days on and seven days off rotation
  • Twelve hour shifts
  • Overtime paid after eight hours

What Is In It for You

  • Competitive pay with consistent overtime opportunities
  • A company that genuinely prioritizes safety
  • Well maintained equipment and strong field support
  • Ongoing training and opportunities to grow your skills
  • A crew that respects operators who deliver steady production
  • Paid travel to and from site
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Live out Allowance (LOA) available for eligible candidates

Build production. Build trust. Build it right.
