The Heavy Equipment Operators earn $31.34 an hour and their responsibilities include operating heavy motorized equipment, installing equipment attachments, and maintaining vehicles.

To qualify, you must have a valid Ontario Class "A" Driver's License with "Z" endorsement as well as experience operating "tractor-trailers, rubber tire articulated loaders, track loaders and backhoe."

You can read the full job descriptions and apply to these positions online.

The city is also hosting a Recruitment Open House on January 28 in Scarborough where you can learn more about the jobs. You should bring your resume, proof of eligibility to work, and valid AZ or DZ driver’s licence.
