YOUR DAY-TO-DAY

As our Motor Grader Operator, you'll begin your days by inspecting your motor grader and addressing any minor fixes so you can hit the road with confidence, then you'll manage your own route-reshaping gravel profiles, eliminating washboards, and maintaining proper crown-while staying in sync with the Highway Superintendent as daily conditions evolve; when snow arrives, you pivot fast to plow with the motor grader and sometimes a tandem axle truck, and between events you'll assist mechanics in preparing graders for winter, perform daily inspections and repairs, oversee maintenance graveling by contractors and county staff, tackle building repairs at outlying shops, and occasionally mow ditches with a tractor and mower; throughout, you'll balance autonomy with safety, time management, and service to the traveling public.

This is a full‑time, year‑round position based in Argusville, ND, featuring four 10‑hour days from spring through fall. You must be able to report to work within 30 minutes during emergency events, which can include after-hours, weekends, and holidays.

Here's what you need to become our Motor Grader Operator:

• Class B license, and the ability to obtain a Class A license
• 3 years of experience in operating heavy equipment
• Experience in maintaining and repairing heavy equipment
• Knowledge of construction equipment and the materials used
