Cody Clark

Safety-first heavy equipment operator with 17+ years running large iron on civil, pipeline, earthworks, and underground utility projects across BC and Alberta. Comfortable in congested urban corridors or wide-open oil patch terrain — I show up, adapt fast, and get the work done right the first time. Known for precision machine control, high-risk task reliability, and an attendance record that speaks for itself.

Civil & Underground Operator - Skylink - Surrey / Langley, BC

(2024-01 - 2026-12)

Surrey-Langley SkyTrain Extension

• Led pad preparation across multiple station and guideway footprint zones along the SkyTrain expansion corridor — high-volume earthworks under tight scheduling pressure.
• Executed deep underground trenching for storm, sanitary, and electrical conduit systems in congested urban terrain with minimal disruption to adjacent infrastructure.
• Rerouted and relocated existing underground utilities to suit new alignment, working directly alongside engineers and inspectors to maintain service continuity.
• Performed full-scope civil earthworks: cut and fill, subgrade prep, and compaction to structural loading specs.
• Managed access and egress control across a live multi-trade site — coordinating safe movement of equipment and ground crews at all times.
• Operated multiple excavator sizes and attachments to match shifting ground conditions, trench depths, and close-proximity work throughout the corridor.

Utility Operator - KLTP (Kiewit-Ledcor-Trans) - Coquitlam, BC

(2021-01 - 2024-12)

• Cleared terrain and placed rig mats to establish safe travel corridors for heavy equipment across a complex pipeline project.
• Built river crossings and access points for tandem traffic; installed trench boxes and road plates with full water mitigation systems.
• Excavated and bedded product pipe to exact engineering specs — worked directly with client inspectors when conditions changed.
• Supported directional drilling operations for pipeline installation beneath the Fraser River.
• Dug 9-meter GHAB pits in congested urban zones using long sticks, clam buckets, and roto-tilt attachments.
• Ran equipment through night shifts to maximize production; completed fine finishing and restoration across 18 km through Burnaby and Coquitlam.

Excavator Operator - Kota Contracting - Kelowna, BC

(2017-01 - 2020-12)

• GPS-guided grading across large earthworks programs; screened and hauled materials on steep terrain, adapting rock trucks as mobile mixer boxes when needed.
• Trenched slopes as steep as 60° with multiple machines working simultaneously — heavy coordination required.
• Built roads, retaining walls, access routes, and underground utility corridors all within the same active zone.
• Managed continuous heavy rainfall through proactive water mitigation; delivered fine finish road surfaces ready for asphalt.

Mainline Excavator Operator - M.A.P (Water & Sewer / Earthworks) - Alberta

(2015-01 - 2017-12)

• Installed mainline underground utilities (water, sewer, electrical) across large-scale Alberta projects.
• Dug open-cut ditches with 2:1 slopes up to 9 meters deep; installed 20-foot trench boxes to keep crews safe in-trench.
• Built French drain diversions and berms for water mitigation on active sites; operated full compliance with client safety requirements.

Excavator / Finish Dozer Operator - Whistle Contracting - Edmonton, AB

(2012-01 - 2015-12)

Edmonton LRT Expansion

• Supported the Edmonton LRT expansion with a strong civil and underground focus — utility reroutes, service removals, and new conduit installation through dense urban corridors.
• Demolished existing structures and obsolete underground infrastructure using bucket and hammer attachments to clear alignment for new guideway construction.
• Executed precision underground utility reroutes around live services — water, sewer, and electrical — coordinating with locates and inspection teams to maintain continuity.
• Removed conflicting buried services ahead of civil construction; exposed and cleared underground infrastructure in tight, heavily congested zones.
• Compacted subgrades and foundations, maintained site access ramps, and loaded aggregate with extended-reach clamshell across a wide range of civil support roles.
