Operated Bobcats and skid steers for various earthmoving tasks, including site clearing, material transport, and grading. I also used skid steer attachments like buckets, augers, and trenchers to perform site preparation and landscaping. For rough grading, land clearing, push-filling, and leveling dirt and gravel on project sites, I operated bulldozers. I conducted daily pre-operational safety inspections, fluid checks, and routine maintenance on heavy machinery. I navigated heavy equipment safely around tight job sites, active crews, and existing structures. Additionally, I efficiently transported, loaded, and unloaded raw materials, soil, aggregate, and demolition debris.
