Asphalt Crew Roles | Brendale & Swanbank | $39–$44/hr + OT

Join a leading asphalt team with an immediate start! We are currently seeking reliable and hard-working individuals for multiple positions across our Metro, Prep, and Cartage crews. Roles are primarily based in Brendale, with additional opportunities in Swanbank.

We offer a high-energy environment with ASAP starts, plenty of overtime, and genuine growth opportunities for those who show initiative.

Detailed Role Summaries

Metro Crews (Brendale & Swanbank)

  • Skid Steer Operator: Responsible for precision site preparation, sweeping, and material handling. Must be confident with various attachments (broom, bucket) on live road sites.

  • Labourer / Roller Operator: Assisting with asphalt laying, raking, and shoveling. Operation of breakdown and finish rollers to achieve specified compaction and surface smoothness.

  • QA / Spotter: A critical safety and quality role. You will act as the "eyes and ears" for operators, managing exclusion zones, spotting hazards, and ensuring the asphalt mat meets depth and quality specs.

  • Junior Labourer (Under 20): Entry-level position for a young worker with a "can-do" attitude. We provide the training; you provide the energy and reliability.

Prep Crew (Brendale)

  • Skid Steer Operator: Focused on the "front end" of the job—stripping old surfaces and prepping the base for new asphalt.

  • HR Driver / Labourer: Operating Heavy Rigid vehicles to transport materials while assisting the crew with manual tasks on the ground.

  • Lab Tech / Field Tester: Conducting field density testing (Nuclear Gauge) and collecting asphalt samples to ensure compliance with engineering standards.

Cartage (Brendale)

  • 8-Wheel & 6-Wheel Walking Floor Drivers: Operating specialized "walking floor" trailers (with tag-along float for the 8-wheeler). These roles are perfect for working under low-clearance areas like trees or powerlines where tippers can't operate.

What We Offer

  • Competitive Pay: $39.00 – $44.00 per hour (commensurate with experience).

  • Shift Flexibility: Consistent Day and Night shifts available.

  • Penalty Rates: Massive earning potential with regular overtime.

  • Career Growth: We promote from within—start as a labourer, move into operating or supervision.

Requirements

  • Mandatory: Must have a Current Driver’s License and Reliable Transport.

  • Compliance: Successful candidates must pass a Physical Functional Assessment and Drug & Alcohol (D&A) screening.

  • Tickets: White Card is essential. Relevant RII tickets for machine operators and HR licenses for truck roles are required.

  • Reliability: You must be a "show up every day" type of person.
