As Finish Blade Operator, you set the surface that mining access, earthworks, and civil crews build on-true to elevation, cross-slope, and smoothness-so the next trade starts on time and rework stays off the job. Your blade decides whether a section is ready or sent back.\nPerformance Objectives\nFinish subgrade, haul roads, and pads to specified elevation, crown, and ride on the planned passes.\nHold line and grade from stakes, lasers, or machine control so out-of-tolerance work stays rare and is corrected before handover.\nBalance cut and fill to cut unnecessary haul and place material where the design needs it.\nRelease finished sections to survey, compaction, and follow-on crews without idle gaps.\nComplete pre-start checks on blade, circle, tires, and hydraulics and clear minor faults before they stop the shift.\nWork safely around traffic, trenches, and active faces with zero recordable incidents.\nLog daily metres, fuel, and grade checks so supervisors can close sections with evidence, not guesswork.\nEnvironment & Resources\nYou join a small field crew on live earthworks, road, and site-development jobs and report to the site supervisor or foreman. You run a motor grader or finish blade with grade references, radio, and basic hand tools. Fuel, wear parts, and mechanical support are supplied on site; you set the day’s passes with the crew lead before start-up.\nEssential Qualifications\nProven finish grading on roads, pads, or earthworks-not rough spreading alone.\nAbility to read stakes, plans, and simple grade sheets and hit elevation without constant reset.\nSafe control of a motor grader in dust, traffic, and uneven ground.\nShift-start inspection habit and clear radio contact with spotters and supervisors.\nCurrent licence or site certification required to operate the machine.\nReadiness for shifts, remote sites, and changing weather.\nWhy This Role\nWork moves across roads, earthworks, mining support, and civil platforms-not one endless cut.\nFinish quality is visible and credited; strong operators set the standard others follow.\nSkill matters more than title on a practical, hands-on crew.\nRoom to become the grader the project trusts when tolerance is tight.\nIf you can put a surface on grade and keep the crew moving, apply now. Bring your operating record and be ready to show how you finish a section.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2416,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mining"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T19:40:16Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":1,"age_days":6,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-11T05:49:22Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/turner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/turner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-11T21:34:44Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":42425,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":690250},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=690250"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fturner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fturner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fturner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/turner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fturner-mining-group-finish-blade-operator"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3764719}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"turnermining.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3764719},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
