A storm drain pipe installer's job description includes digging trenches, laying pipes, and connecting them according to blueprints and site plans. The use of specialized equipment like lasers and levels to ensure proper slope and grade, seal joints, and backfill trenches to install, repair, and maintain storm drainage systems is required. Key responsibilities also involve operating some heavy machinery, performing masonry for structures, and following strict safety protocols.

  • Connect pipes and seal joints using appropriate materials such as cement, glue, or welding equipment to prevent leaks.
  • Construct and repair storm drain system components, including manholes and catch basins, sometimes involving masonry work.
  • Operate various heavy machinery like excavators, backhoes, and loaders, as well as hand and power tools.
  • Follow safety procedures, monitor for overhead utilities, and set up traffic control devices (cones, signs) according to safety standards.
  • Test newly installed pipes to ensure proper installation and backfill the trenches with earth or other materials once the pipes are in place.
  • Prepare reports on materials, equipment utilization, and work completed.

Requirements

  • Ability to read and interpret blueprints and site plans.
  • Proficiency in using survey instruments like lasers and levels.
  • Physical strength and stamina to perform heavy lifting (often 50+ pounds) and strenuous physical labor in various weather conditions.
  • Manual dexterity and multi-limb coordination.
  • Basic math skills for measurements and calculations.
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Experience with heavy equipment operation is often preferred or required.
