  • Critical Impact: Your expertise will directly influence the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of infrastructure projects nationwide by preventing costly utility strikes and ensuring smooth execution.
  • Professional Growth: As the industry evolves, you’ll be a leader in adopting and mastering new technologies, staying ahead in a field that is becoming increasingly tech-driven.
  • Work-Life Adventure: Enjoy nationwide travel, working on diverse projects with a company that values employees’ time with daily per diems and company-paid travel expenses.

  • Field Leadership: 1-3+ years of experience managing field crews, ensuring precise and efficient utility locating.
  • Tech-Savvy Problem Solver: Ability to operate GPS and geospatial systems, interpret utility data, and collaborate with project teams using mobile and PC platforms.
  • Proficient in Software: Skilled in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams) and experienced with Windows, Apple, and Android mobile technologies for field data collection and reporting.
  • Physically Prepared: Ability to lift to 75 lbs, walk long distances, and work in all weather conditions.
  • Licensed to Drive: Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
