Occupation context

These O*NET tasks describe the occupation. They provide context for this SOC mapping, but do not mean every listed Skill performs every task.

Move levers, depress foot pedals, and turn dials to operate power machinery, such as power shovels, stripping shovels, scraper loaders, or backhoes.
Set up or inspect equipment prior to operation.
Become familiar with digging plans, machine capabilities and limitations, and efficient and safe digging procedures in a given application.

O*NET task statements are shown in their source language (English). Task data excerpted from the O*NET® 29.1 Database (USDOL/ETA) and used under CC BY 4.0.

A bounded sample of popular skills mapped to this occupation, with at most one Skill from each GitHub repository. The complete mapped list follows.

excavation-plan

lionelsimai/claude-skills-collection

Create excavation plans with safety and utility locates. TRIGGERS - Use when user needs help with excavation-plan related tasks.

dragline-operator

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Dragline and Excavating/Loading Machine Operator in surface mining — converting a rated bucket capacity into bank cubic yards moved per shift, deciding whether a swing angle or spoil-placement plan needs to be flagged to pit engineering, matching loading pass count and payload to a haul truck's rated capacity, checking ground bearing conditions before walking or tracking a machine onto fill or spoil, or reading a berm/highwall condition against MSHA thresholds.

machine-08-autonomous-loader-excavator

TuringWorks/civstack

Non-humanoid autonomous machine for the Mining operating system: **Autonomous loader / excavator** — load trucks and dig and move material at the face. Best in: mines, quarries, stockyards. A self-driving/self-operating platform whose planning brain issues physical actions as tool calls (perception-to-control trained on world models, simulation, and RLAIF) inside a defined ODD with teleoperation fallback. Use this skill to plan or operate the platform; trigger whenever this physical work is needed, even if only described.
