Job Description

About Sunset Valley Construction

We are an excavation contractor that lays the groundwork to develop and maintain the societal infrastructure that helps sustain everyday life as we know it.

How you’ll get to help us do that

Assist with the excavation, grading, movement, and shaping of earth, and the placement of underground utilities, to prepare land for essential infrastructure, transportation, and vital services.

What you’ll get to do

  • Clear land and prepare sites with a stable foundation for further construction, such as new schools, apartment buildings, roads, subdivisions, infrastructure rebuilds, and warehouses
  • Excavate earth by removing soil and placing utility lines
  • Shape and contour landscapes to sculpt for road construction, building sites, or outdoor spaces
  • Establish proper drainage to direct water flow and prevent flooding or erosion
  • While using hand tools on the job, get paid to learn how to operate heavy equipment (excavators, skid steers, and dozers)
  • Remain local, working in the greater Hartford area (within 1 hour of Ellington)
  • Work alongside a highly-skilled team committed to keeping you safe and helping you succeed and grow

What you bring to the role

  • At least 1 year experience in excavation or landscaping
  • You like working with your hands out in the fresh air
  • No issue can stop you. You love figuring out how to overcome challenges.
  • You work with your head on a swivel, constantly looking out for the safety of your co-workers, and have the courage to speak out when conditions are not safe
  • You have a strong sense of pride in your quality of work and constantly seek ways to make things more efficient
  • You're adaptable to the changing demands of a construction site

Even better (but not required) if you have

  • 2+ years experience in construction labor, specifically in sitework, excavation, grading, and/or pipelaying
  • Basic mechanical knowledge and know how to fix stuff
  • OSHA 10 certification
  • CDL

What’s in it for you

  • 2 pre-paid Southwest plane tickets anywhere in the USA once a year
  • Mentorship and unlimited training (hands-on and digital) and heavy equipment training
  • A family-first company with generous acquired PTO
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance after 3 months. 75% paid for all employees and immediate family
  • 401K plan with a 3% company match after 3 months

We are an equal-opportunity employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other protected status. We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our workplace and creating an environment where all individuals feel valued, respected, and supported. We comply with all applicable laws governing EEO and affirmative action and ensure that all employment decisions are made solely based on job-related qualifications and merit.
