Excavator Operator

M&M Recycling
$20.00 - $22.00 per hour

Ready to Put Your Excavator Operating Skills to Work?


Are you tired of jobs where your hard work goes unnoticed?


Do you take pride in operating heavy equipment and being a vital part of a team that keeps things moving?


At M&M Recycling, we're looking for an Excavator Operator who's ready to do more than move scrap and make a difference. Your expertise working with multiple attachments such as magnets, grapples, and shears will make you a great addition to our team.


If that sounds like you, keep reading. This could be your next big opportunity.


Why You'll Love Working Here


M&M Recycling is more than a scrap yard. We're a family-owned company with a strong reputation built on decades of doing things right.


Our team works hard, respects each other, and takes pride in our work. We value safety, precision, and a job well done, and we support every team member who shows up with the same mindset.


A Day in the Life


Every time you fire up your machine, you'll know your work matters. As the Excavator Operator, you'll be loading scrap into a baler, prepping material, and keeping our yard running smoothly.


This is outdoor, hands-on work with equipment that makes a huge impact. You'll work alongside people who know their stuff and have your back every step of the way. It's fast, physical, and rewarding.


Who Shouldn't Apply


Please do not apply if:


  • You've never operated an excavator or a material handler in a scrap environment.
  • You aren't comfortable working outside in all weather conditions.
  • You're not reliable or struggle to stay on task without constant supervision.
  • Safety rules feel like suggestions to you.

You'll Fit Right In If


  • You've got at least 5 years of experience operating excavators or cranes, especially with grapple buckets and magnets.
  • You're reliable, safety-focused, and always ready to work.
  • You take pride in your equipment and inspect it daily.
  • You're a team player and communicate clearly with those around you.

Your Responsibilities as an Excavator Operator


You'll play a big part in keeping our operations running efficiently. Your daily work will include:


  • Operating excavators and material handlers to load scrap into a baler.
  • Using grapple buckets and magnets to sort, move, and organize material.
  • Conducting daily inspections and basic maintenance on equipment.
  • Following safety protocols and yard procedures.
  • Working as part of a tight-knit, high-performing crew.

What You Need to Succeed


  • 5+ years of heavy equipment experience in scrap, recycling, or a similar industry.
  • Experience with magnet, shear, and grapple attachments.
  • Familiarity with safety procedures in high-traffic industrial settings.
  • Strong work ethic and a team-first attitude.
  • Valid certifications preferred, but not required.

What You'll Get in Exchange for Your Hard Work


We believe in rewarding outstanding work and supporting our people. Here's how we show it:


  • Competitive Pay: $20 - $22 per hour, based on experience.
  • Paid Time Off & Holidays: Because rest matters.
  • Growth Opportunities: Show your skills and move up.
  • Supportive Team: You'll be respected, backed up, and part of something strong.
