Get on Site and Get to Work
GCS Group is adding a Junior Telecom Skid Steer Operator to our underground construction crew in Red Deer. We run busy HDD and telecom installation projects and our skid steer operators are an essential part of keeping each site productive and moving. If you've completed your certification and you're looking for a role that puts you on active construction sites with a professional crew, this is a solid opportunity to get started.
At the junior level we're not expecting you to have seen everything — we're expecting you to show up ready to work, take direction well, and operate your machine safely. The hours are consistent and the crew is experienced. You'll learn fast.

Operate a skid steer in direct support of HDD and telecom installation activities
Move spoil, assist with trench preparation, and support site cleanup and restoration
Stage materials and position equipment to support drill and pulling operations
Work in coordination with the broader crew including drillers, locators, and labourers
Complete daily machine inspections and report any equipment concerns to the foreman
Follow all site safety rules and ground disturbance requirements
What We Need From You
Skid steer certification must be valid before your first day on site — firm requirement
Any prior construction or utility site experience is considered an asset
Physically capable and comfortable working outdoors in all Alberta weather conditions
Punctual, team-oriented, and focused on doing the job right
Valid driver's licence
What GCS Group Offers
Steady hours on active telecom construction projects
Competitive wages
