ROLES IN DIRT WORLD

Equipment operator

As an equipment operator, you’re in charge of heavy machinery worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Operators can go from running one or two pieces of equipment to running just about any machine, including excavators, dozers, scrapers, graders, and more. They do everything from large-scale excavation to laying pipe. Running equipment every day is just about as cool as it gets.

  • Run Big Iron worth more than sports cars
  • Physically move mountains
  • No special licenses needed
