EIS _ Hydro X Services _ CDL Hydro Excavation Operator_ DENVER,CO

Evergreen Hydro X Services, a Quanta Services company, is hiring experienced CDL Hydro Excavation Operators to run hydrovac trucks on electric, gas, pipeline, and underground utility job sites. You will use pressurized water and high-volume vacuum systems to safely expose buried utilities, dig around live infrastructure that heavy equipment cannot touch, and support construction and maintenance crews in the field.

You will be based out of one of our three locations and will work primarily in that region. When a project calls for it, you will travel to support crews outside your home area, with lodging and per diem covered. This is hands-on field work. Our operators are the reason crews can dig near energized lines and pressurized pipe without hitting anything. We are looking for people who take that responsibility seriously, show up ready to work, and speak up when something is not right.

  • Follow lockout/tagout, excavation, confined space, and site-specific safety procedures without exception; stop work when conditions are unsafe.
  • Complete daily job tickets, time records, and required documentation accurately.
  • Communicate professionally with customers, site supervisors, and crew members.
