We are seeking an Equipment Operator - Light to support renewable energy construction and site operations at a large-scale solar facility in Texas.

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.
