Full Job Description

Full job description

Portal Contractors is a specialist earthworks and excavation contractor delivering complex basement and civil works on Tier 1 commercial projects across Melbourne. From deep excavation and bulk earthworks to piling, capping beams, shotcrete walls, and full retention systems.

We're looking for an experienced Excavator Operator to join our crew on major civil and structural projects. This is hands-on, high-volume work for an operator who knows their machine, works safely, and can move dirt accurately and on program in tight, deep basement environments.

What you'll be doing

Operating excavators safely and productively across live earthworks and excavation sites
Bulk and detailed excavation, batter trimming and working to set-out levels and tolerances
Loading trucks, spoil management and maintaining clean, organised work zones
Working in tight, deep basement environments around retention structures, services and other plant
Assisting piling, capping beam and retention operations as directed
Daily pre-start checks, greasing and routine maintenance to keep the machine in top condition
Monitoring ground conditions and flagging issues early
Working closely with surveyors, spotters and the wider crew to keep work safe and on schedule

What you need

Proven experience operating excavators on commercial or civil projects
White Card (General Construction Induction Card)
RIIMPO320F – Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations (excavator ticket)
Verification of Competency (VOC) on the machine(s) operated
Strong understanding of set-out, levels, tolerances and safe excavation practice
Reliable attendance — you show up, on time, every day
Ability to work outdoors in all conditions
Good communication and the ability to follow directions safely
Valid driver's licence

What we offer

Portal doesn't just hire operators — we build careers:

Full-time, consistent work on major Tier 1 commercial projects
Competitive pay with the volume of hours to match
Modern, well-maintained plant and equipment
Exposure to high-level civil and structural works most operators never get near
