Support the installation of water, sewer, stormwater, and civil infrastructure as required
Complete pre-starts, daily maintenance inspections, and equipment upkeep
Work closely with supervisors, engineers, and site crews to deliver project milestones safely and efficiently
Support trench support, shoring, and reinstatement activities in accordance with project requirements
Maintain strong safety, environmental, and quality standards across all site activities

What You'll Bring

Minimum 3-5 years' experience operating excavators within the civil construction, utilities or infrastructure sectors
Demonstrated experience operating excavators across a range of sizes on civil construction, utilities or infrastructure projects
Experience undertaking trenching, excavation, backfilling and service installation support activities within civil utilities environments
Relevant VOCs, licences and competencies for civil plant and equipment
Current White Card and Driver's Licence
Strong understanding of safe excavation practices and working around underground services
Ability to work effectively within a team environment and follow direction from supervisors and project personnel
Ability to obtain required project and site clearances

What Will Set You Apart

Experience working on major civil infrastructure or utilities projects, including GPS-guided excavation and trenching works
Reliable, punctual and highly motivated with a strong work ethic
Positive attitude and ability to work collaboratively within a team environment
Strong awareness of safety, environmental and quality requirements
Commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes and contributing to a strong team culture

Why Join McMahon Services?

We offer a supportive, high-performance environment where your skills are valued, and your contributions are recognised. You'll enjoy:

Supportive team environment with experienced leadership
Long-term opportunities with a leading national contractor
Opportunity to work on complex, challenging, and rewarding civil and infrastructure projects
