Utility Locator - Forney, TX
About The Position
USIC is hiring a Utility Locator to help prevent underground utility damage and protect infrastructure. The role is suited to safety-focused, quality-conscious people who enjoy outdoor, independent field work. No prior locating experience is required; experienced locators are also encouraged to apply. USIC provides training and opportunities for advancement. Technicians work independently in the field using a company-provided vehicle and ticket and claims management systems.
