About the Role:

Solmech is currently seeking an experienced Excavator Operator to join our team on the Maryvale Solar Farm.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Operate an excavator fitted with a mast and auger to pre-drill foundation holes
  • Drill to specified depths and diameters, following engineering specs
  • Assist with cement filling of holes before piling installation
  • Perform pre-starts, record daily production, and report any issues
  • Collaborate with supervisors, batching teams, and piling operators to ensure workflow continuity
  • Maintain safe, clean, and efficient work practices at all times

What You'll Need:

  • Experience operating excavators in a civil or solar setting
  • Exposure to auger drilling or ground prep preferred
  • Current RII Excavator ticket and White Card (HR Licence a bonus)
  • Confidence working in variable ground conditions
  • Availability to commence in August this year
  • Strong teamwork ethic and commitment to safety and quality

This is your chance to play a key role in a technically challenging solar farm build. If you're ready to apply your excavator skills to a project that matters, hit apply now or email to join the Solmech team at Maryvale
