    Do you want to learn and grow in a trade where there's a real need?

    If you are saying YES, and you know that you have what it takes to advance in your career, our Excavator Operator role at Petticoat-Schmitt might be the right fit for you. You'll be an important part of our team digging trenches and laying pipes for our large civil construction projects.
