This is a temporary position running 12 hour shifts, suited to an operator committed to precision and safety on pipeline right-of-way work. The focus of this role is finishing work. You will handle final trench grade, backfill and compaction over installed pipe, then carry the right-of-way through cleanup and reclamation: recontouring, topsoil replacement, and restoring the corridor toward preconstruction condition. This is fine control work on the machine. Candidates must reside in the Dawson Creek region. What You'll Do Operate excavators safely and efficiently on pipeline right-of-way, with the focus on finishing and reclamation rather than bulk production digging. Cut and dress final trench grade to survey and engineering specification. Perform padding, backfill, and compaction over installed pipe without damaging coating or bedding. Recontour the right-of-way to preconstruction profile, including crown, ditch line, and slope restoration. Strip, stockpile, and replace topsoil in correct horizon order to support successful revegetation. Complete cleanup, debris removal, and final grade ahead of seeding and erosion control. Maintain awareness of underground utilities, existing pipe, and environmental sensitivities such as watercourse crossings and setbacks. Conduct daily equipment inspections, log findings, and report maintenance needs promptly. Work with ground crews, spotters, and environmental monitors, follow direction from site supervision, and adhere to all safety protocols, permits, and ground disturbance procedures. What You Bring Proven experience operating excavators on pipeline or right-of-way construction. Demonstrated finishing ability: final grade, backfill, and reclamation to specification. Residence in the Dawson Creek region. Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation to site. Strong understanding of safe excavation practices and ground disturbance requirements. Ability to read and follow stakes, grade markers, and alignment sheets. Ability to work 12 hour shifts outdoors in variable weather and terrain. Preferred Qualifications Ground Disturbance Level II.
