What the role entails:
The role centers on building strong relationships with landowners by listening closely and fulfilling their needs with our equipment. Services are delivered on a personal level, with time spent on job sites to connect with clients beyond business matters. Responsibilities include performing heavy equipment maintenance, loading, securing, and transporting machinery, while ensuring 100% compliance with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, with training provided as needed. Team members are expected to follow equipment maintenance schedules diligently and to navigate and operate machinery using directional instructions such as north, east, south, and west.
What a typical day looks like:
A typical day in this role may begin by reporting to the shop for dispatch or heading directly to job sites for multi-day projects. Most of the workday is spent operating a forestry mulcher, with some time dedicated to driving as needed. Operators must perform thorough equipment pre-operation checks and vehicle pre-trip inspections to ensure compliance with maintenance schedules and maximize equipment uptime. Accurate job clock reporting is an essential part of daily responsibilities, and throughout the day, professional and pleasant interaction with customers is required to uphold the company’s standard of service.
Overall expectations:
Employees in this role are expected to uphold the company’s reputation for professionalism, safety, and customer satisfaction in every aspect of their work. They must take pride in maintaining equipment in peak condition, ensuring reliability and readiness for each project. Representing God’s Country Land Services requires integrity and respect, both on the job site and in interactions with clients and the public.
