Laborer/Operator

RPD IS GROWING IN THE TRI-CITIES!!

At RPD, we are always looking for ambitious, hard-working, eager-to-learn laborers to join the RPD team. Applicants ranging from entry level to experienced will be considered, but construction experience is preferred and civil construction experience is ideal.

Applicants must be a great fit for the RPD culture, being highly reliable, self-motivated, and having a great attitude and positive mindset. There are numerous opportunities at RPD for applicants who fit this description. We are dedicated to providing an employee-focused culture and team-oriented environment, with a strong emphasis on developing successful employees.

The critical role of a laborer at RPD is vast and varied, supporting dirt and pipe crews both on and off equipment, performing tasks ranging from grade-hop to top-man. Laborers who prove themselves and gain valuable RPD experience can choose their career paths, specializing in either earthwork or utilities and becoming pipe layers or operators with great opportunity for leadership if desired. THE ROLE WE ARE HIRING FOR WILL REQUIRE YOU TO BE A "TOPMAN", WHICH IS THE ASSISTANT TO THE PIPE LAYER.

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY APPLICABLE CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE, YOU NEED TO AT LEAST TELL US WHY YOU WANT THIS JOB. WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ANY JOB THEY CAN FIND. WE WANT TO KNOW WHY YOU WANT TO DO THIS JOB FOR US. IF YOU CANNOT COMMUNICATE THAT TO US, WE WILL REJECT YOUR APPLICATION.
