Careers at
Woods Excavating
Come start a future here, not just a job. Plenty of people arrive without a day of experience in the trade. They get trained on real equipment by people who know what they’re doing, and the path up is real: laborers become operators, operators run crews.
This is honest work: outside, demanding, and worth it. You’ll be part of a team that’s proud of what it builds and wants to see you win. At the end of a job you can stand on something that wasn’t there before and know exactly what you did.
Hear fromthe Woods team
The people who run the crews, drive the trucks, and keep the machines going, on why they work here and why they stay.
The biggest difference that I could see between Woods Excavating and other companies around would be the culture, the people. When you’ve got a group of guys that are really trying to get it done and push towards the same thing, it feels good at the end of the day.Kevin McKenney · Pit Manager
The owners care and everybody cares here, and everybody does their best every day to try to get the job done right.Will Mitchell · Fleet Manager
