    Support utility installations by digging test holes, placing bedding material, and holding grade rods.

     

    Follow instructions to mark out excavation limits, stake out trenches, and maintain proper trench safety practices.

     

    Participate in daily toolbox talks, safety briefings, and adhere to all PPE and site safety protocols.

     

    Perform general site cleanup at the end of each shift.

     

    Communicate openly with foremen and crew members regarding tool needs, hazards, or training opportunities.

    Minimum Qualifications

    Some prior site work experience (even volunteer or part‑time) demonstrating reliable attendance and a strong work ethic.

     

    Ability to perform physical labor, including lifting up to 50 lbs, standing, bending, and working outdoors in various weather conditions.

     

    Coachable attitude, eagerness to learn, and willingness to take direction.

     

    Strong teamwork skills and willingness to support co‑workers.

    Preferred Qualifications

    Experience or familiarity with underground utilities (water mains, storm drains, sanitary sewers).

     

    Basic knowledge of power tools (e.g., saws, drills) and hand tools (e.g., shovels, levels, pry bars).

     

    OSHA 10‑Hour Construction Safety Certification.

     

    Valid driver's license.
