A backhoe operator is a construction worker who specializes in driving and operating backhoes, which are heavy construction machines that are commonly used to move large amounts of earth or to dig holes and trenches. Operators follow the instruction of construction supervisors to move dirt or dig holes needed for the construction of buildings, roads, bridges and other structures.

They also perform routine maintenance and report major malfunctions. In addition, operators are responsible for making sure that all safety protocols are followed, such as coordinating with other construction workers using hand signals.
