Description
Mini Excavator Operator – We Will Train Plumbing
Plumbing Solutions LLC is hiring a Mini Excavator Operator with construction experience who wants to build a career in a skilled trade.
You do not have to be a plumber. We will train the right person in residential underground plumbing.
If you know how to operate a mini excavator, understand how a construction site works, and are willing to learn, we can teach you the plumbing side of the job—including residential slab plumbing and sewer installation .
What You’ll Do
Operate a mini excavator safely and efficiently
Dig and install residential sewer lines
Perform underground plumbing work beneath concrete slabs
Set grade and maintain proper slope/fall
Install PVC drainage and sewer systems
Perform trenching, excavation, and backfilling
Read and follow basic construction plans and layouts
Measure and maintain accurate elevations
Identify potential issues before concrete is poured
Work as part of a production-focused residential construction crew
Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area
What We’re Looking For
Previous mini excavator experience
Construction, excavation, or underground utility experience
Comfortable working outdoors in changing weather conditions
Ability to measure accurately and follow layouts and instructions
Strong work ethic and reliable attendance
Takes pride in doing the job correctly—not just getting it done
Willingness to learn plumbing and develop new skills
Ability to work effectively as part of a crew
Experience That’s a Plus — But Not Required
Experience in any of the following is valuable:
Plumbing
Septic installation
Water or sewer utilities
Sitework
Grading
Storm drainage
Irrigation
Excavation
Underground construction
We’ll Teach You the Trade
If you already know construction and equipment operation, you have a strong foundation.
Plumbing Solutions will train the right person in residential slab plumbing, underground drainage, and sewer installation. You’ll have the opportunity to turn your equipment and construction experience into a specialized skilled trade.
This is a hands-on production position for someone who wants to work, learn, and become highly skilled—not a position for someone looking to sit on the sidelines.
Requirements
- Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs, bend, kneel, and work in various indoor and outdoor environments, including crawl spaces and attics.
- Ability to troubleshoot issues and recommend effective solutions during installation and inspection phases.
- Reliable, punctual, and capable of working independently or as part of a team to meet deadlines and maintain project quality.
