Job Description

We are seeking an Equipment Operator - Light to support renewable energy construction and site operations at a large-scale solar facility in Texas. The successful candidate will safely operate light-duty construction and site-support equipment, including utility vehicles, telehandlers, skid steers, forklifts, light trucks, and other machinery appropriate to their training and authorization. Duties may include transporting materials and tools, loading and unloading deliveries, moving equipment around the site, assisting with access-road and laydown-area maintenance, supporting installation crews, managing debris and housekeeping, and completing routine pre-use inspections.


The operator will follow site-specific procedures, traffic plans, manufacturer instructions, and all applicable health, safety, and environmental requirements.
