Alberta heavy equipment operator rates
Heavy equipment operator charge-out is the labor line that rides with the iron. It is not the machine rate. OT and shift premiums belong on the rate sheet, not in a public median. In Alberta, the heavy equipment operator central reference is $110 CAD/hr (range $95 CAD to $125 CAD, as of 2026-08). That figure is a reference estimate for labor charge-out. Nearby-book checks: British Columbia central reference $115 CAD/hr, and Saskatchewan central reference $105 CAD/hr. These are public reference figures, not a quote. Bill the rate on the signed project sheet.
