  • Hands-On Leadership
  • Big Energy Required
  • Work with legends and down-to-earth leadership

  • We're PKM Earthmoving - and we don't do average.

    We're growing fast, and we're on the hunt for a Leading Hand Operator who's got the grit, the skills, and the attitude to back it all up. If you love a challenge, lead from the front, and know your way around a machine like it's an extension of your body - we want you on our team.

    We build high-quality residential and subdivision projects from our base in Loganholme on the southside, across SEQ and we're damn proud of the reputation we've earned. We don't tolerate egos or slackers - just real people, real results, and real respect.

    What's in it for you?:
    • Be part of a tight-knit team where your input actually matters
    • Supportive leadership that's got your back (and calls BS when needed)
    • Challenging sites that keep you learning and levelling up
    • A culture that rewards initiative, problem solving, and good crew
    • Career development that grows with you - not just lip service
    • A paid day off on your birthday
    • RDO's & Weekends off
    • Full time + penalties + Vehicle allowance (company vehicle provided after probation)
    Your day-to-day:
    • Running sites like a boss and keeping things on time and to spec
    • Leading the crew with purpose - setting out jobs, assigning tasks, and getting stuck in
    • Operating machinery (especially excavators & positracs) to a high standard
    • Keeping machines clean, sites tidy, and clients happy
    • Staying accountable - from pre-starts to daily logs, timesheets, and dockets
    • Working with a variety of personalities and knowing how to get the best out of each one
    • Taking pride in your work and mentoring those coming up behind you
    You'll need:
    • Experience in civil and general excavation (small subdivisions are our bread & butter)
    • White Card + RII tickets for excavator, skid steer, and roller
    • Strong skills reading plans, using lasers, and estimating volumes
    • Mechanical knowledge and problem-solving savvy
    • A current HR or HC driver's licence
    • Zero criminal convictions
    • The ability to follow systems, think ahead, and leave the site better than you found it
    Who you are:
    • A natural leader who leads by example
    • Positive, proactive, and not afraid to get dirty
    • A clear communicator who listens first and speaks up when needed
    • Loyal, reliable, and looking for a team to grow with
    • Detail-driven and proud of your work
    • Not just a gun on the tools - but someone who gives a damn about the crew too
    If this sounds like you - don't wait.
