ABOUT US

 Our philosophy at Excavators Northwest is that everyone can do all aspects of the job. A general laborer on our team gets to operate equipment, help position the lifting beams, run the hydraulic lifting controls or do anything else that you display the desire and aptitude to learn. Likewise, an equipment operator or a driver doesn't sit on their piece of equipment all day. You get in shoulder-to-shoulder and do manual labor with the rest of the crew. Even management pitches in to help when needed. Frank often works alongside the crew on our complicated jobs.

As you can see from our website, no job is ever the same. You will get the opportunity to learn skills that few other construction workers will ever learn. If you display the desire and ability to grow, the sky is the limit. We promote from within, and will give you as much responsibility as you can handle. We reward our workers generously for their hard work and dedication. You would have the opportunity to challenge yourself as a part of this team.
