Skid Steer Operator careers
A Skid Steer Operator uses skid steer loaders to move materials, clear land, and perform digging or levelling tasks on construction sites. You might work on civil, residential, or commercial projects, using attachments such as buckets, augers, and trenchers to complete a wide range of earthmoving and site preparation work.
Skid Steer Operators must be safety-focused, physically fit, and confident in handling machinery. You’ll need to follow site plans, work well in a team, and communicate clearly with supervisors and other workers.
