Eco Express is hiring a CDL Driver / Hydroseeder Operator to move equipment, materials, and supplies between our yard and active jobsites, and to run our 4,000-gallon hydroseeder in the field.
This is a hands-on driving role. You will spend part of your day behind the wheel and part of it on site — loading, securing, applying hydroseed, and working alongside our crews. If you hold a CDL, take DOT compliance seriously, and would rather be outdoors than in a warehouse, this is a good fit.
What You Will Do
Driving and Transport
- Operate company trucks and commercial vehicles to transport equipment, materials, and supplies.
- Perform pretrip and posttrip inspections and report maintenance or safety concerns promptly.
- Load, secure, transport, and unload equipment and materials according to applicable regulations and company procedures.
- Verify that loads are properly distributed and secured before transport.
- Navigate construction sites, staging areas, and varying jobsite conditions safely.
- Hydroseeder Operation
- Drive and operate a 4,000gallon hydroseeder at jobsites.
- Prepare and load hydroseed mixtures.
- Operate the hydroseeding equipment to apply seed, mulch, fertilizer, and other materials.
- Monitor equipment during operation.
- Perform routine inspections and basic maintenance.
- Transport the hydroseeder to and from jobsites in compliance with DOT regulations and company safety requirements.
Compliance and Documentation
- Maintain driver logs, inspection reports, delivery documentation, and other required records.
- Follow DOT, FMCSA, state, local, and company safety requirements.
- Report accidents, vehicle damage, citations, or safety concerns immediately.
Team and Jobsite Support
- Coordinate with Superintendents, Project Managers, and other field personnel on deliveries and equipment transportation.
- Assist with loading, unloading, and general jobsite activities as needed.
- Keep the assigned company vehicle clean and in safe operating condition.
- Perform other duties as assigned in support of field and construction operations.
What You Need
- Valid Commercial Driver's License (CDL).
- Current DOT medical certification.
- Acceptable motor vehicle record and ability to meet company insurance requirements.
- Working knowledge of DOT regulations and safe commercial driving practices.
- Ability to operate commercial vehicles safely in construction and jobsite environments.
- Ability to perform required vehicle inspections and identify basic maintenance or safety concerns.
- Dependable attendance and ontime reporting.
- Clear communication and a professional approach with crews, supervisors, and customers.
- Ability to work independently and follow instructions.
- Ability to pass required drug and alcohol testing under applicable regulations and company policy.
Helpful to Have
- CDL driving experience in construction, grading, excavation, utility, or heavy civil work.
- Experience transporting construction equipment and materials.
- Experience operating dump trucks, tractortrailers, lowboys, or similar commercial vehicles.
- Experience securing heavy equipment and construction loads.
- Hydroseeding, erosion control, or landscape/seeding experience.
- Tanker or other applicable CDL endorsements.

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in field operator jobs.
- High school diploma or GED with two or more years of field operations experience
- Valid TWIC card or ability to obtain one before start date
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 general industry or construction certification
- Hands-on experience with SCADA systems or distributed control system platforms
- H2S Alive or equivalent hydrogen sulfide safety training certification
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record for site travel requirements
Tips for Your Field Operator Job Search
List your certifications before soft skills
Field operator postings screen first for hard credentials. Put your TWIC card, OSHA 10 or 30, H2S safety training, and any relevant state operating licenses at the top of your resume, not buried in a skills section at the bottom.
Quantify equipment you have operated
Hiring managers want specifics. Name the control systems, compressors, pumps, or SCADA platforms you have hands-on experience with and note the capacity or pressure ratings where you can. Vague claims like 'experience with heavy equipment' do not stand out.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists field operator openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by shift structure
Many field operator roles run 12-hour rotating shifts, 7-and-7 schedules, or on-call rotations in remote locations. Filter for shift type before applying so you are not wasting effort on schedules that do not work for your situation.
Prepare for scenario-based technical questions
Interviewers for field operator roles will describe an equipment malfunction or abnormal reading and ask what you do. Practice walking through your lockout-tagout steps, emergency shutdown procedures, and incident reporting process out loud before your interview.
Negotiate the full compensation package
Field operator roles frequently include overtime, per diem for remote assignments, housing allowances, and tool stipends that are negotiable even when base pay is fixed. Ask for the full breakdown before accepting an offer so you can compare total compensation accurately.
Field Operator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most field operators?
Turneround Fleet, EPB, and NV5 are hiring the most field operators right now, with openings concentrated in North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Activity tends to increase when energy production cycles are ramping up or infrastructure maintenance projects are scheduled.
How many field operator jobs are remote?
About 13% of field operator openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is low compared to most occupations. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote work are SCADA monitoring, control room operations, and remote data review roles where physical site presence is not required for every shift.
How do you become a field operator?
Start by earning a high school diploma or GED, then complete safety certifications like OSHA 10 and H2S Alive that employers require before day one on site. Apply for entry-level positions such as operator assistant or lease operator trainee to build hands-on equipment experience. Many field operators advance by cross-training on additional systems, earning a TWIC card, and pursuing vocational training in process technology or industrial instrumentation.
Can you get hired as a field operator with no experience?
Yes, some employers hire candidates with no direct field operations experience if you hold current safety certifications and can demonstrate mechanical aptitude. Completing an OSHA course, obtaining your TWIC card, and doing a process technology program at a community college significantly improves your chances. Applying to trainee or apprentice postings rather than journey-level roles is the most practical starting point.
What does the field operator interview process look like?
Most field operator interviews start with a phone screen focused on your certifications and schedule availability. An in-person or on-site interview typically follows, covering technical scenario questions about equipment malfunctions, lockout-tagout procedures, and emergency shutdowns. Some employers add a practical skills assessment or site walkthrough where they observe how you identify hazards or describe your approach to routine monitoring tasks before making an offer.
Where can I find and apply to field operator jobs?
You can find and apply to field operator jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your certifications, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits your situation.
