Document completed locates with photos, GPS coordinates, and detailed notes
Communicate with excavators, contractors, and property owners on-site
Identify and report discrepancies between utility records and field conditions
Maintain and calibrate locating equipment
Follow all safety protocols, including traffic control and PPE requirements
Work outdoors in varying weather conditions, often independently
Qualifications
High school diploma or equivalent required
Valid driver's license with clean driving record
Prior utility locating, construction, surveying, or damage prevention experience preferred (not always required — many companies train)
Ability to read basic maps/blueprints and use handheld GPS/tablet devices
Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently
Physical ability to walk long distances, bend, kneel, and work outdoors in all weather
NULCA or state-specific locator certification a plus (or willingness to obtain)
Preferred Skills
Familiarity with EM locating equipment (Ridgid, Vivax-Metrotech, Radiodetection, etc.)
Experience with GPR equipment
Basic understanding of utility infrastructure (gas, electric, telecom, water/sewer)
