About The Position

USIC is hiring a Gas Locate Technician for its Advanced Gas Operations division in Lubbock, Texas. The role involves independent outdoor field work to help protect underground utility infrastructure and public safety. Technicians use company-provided vehicles, locating equipment, and ticket and claims management systems to perform clear and complete mark-out services. No prior locating experience is required; relevant industry experience is a plus and may be considered when determining starting pay. The position pays $21.50 per hour and includes training and opportunities for advancement. These are daytime, full-time positions.
