Heavy Equipment Job Listings: November 3, 2012

Heavy equipment operator job listings will go through an unsettled period in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. For some construction businesses, everything has come to a standstill as they try to assess the damage done to work in progress. Hundreds, if not thousands, of heavy equipment operators, truck drivers, and crane operators are going to be needed to help with clean-up efforts, repairs, and with the demolition and rebuilding of buildings badly damaged. There are a lot of roads that are going to need work on as well.

Right now, heavy equipment job listings are fairly light, although that follows a rather heavy list of job opportunities last listed last weekend. There is plenty going on in the south and west in states that were not affected by Hurricane Sandy, however, there will be operators from these areas who will be called in to help with the cleanup. Opportunities listed over the last two weeks include:
