Locator

Compensation : $20.00 Hourly

Are you an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys independent field work and is looking to jump start your career? If you are a quality-conscious, safety focused, hard-working individual, then consider an exciting long-term career at USIC!

The USIC name and brand are highly recognized and respected for our strong commitment to quality and safety. We are America's leader in underground utility damage prevention and advanced infrastructure services, performing more than 84 million locates each year for the more than 1,400 telecommunications, electric, gas, water, and sewer utilities and municipalities we serve nationwide. Our mission is to deliver quality, efficient, safe, and innovative solutions to protect our partners' infrastructure and critical assets. At USIC, we are committed to Leading from the Ground Up.

Our Advanced Gas Operations (AGO) division provides dedicated service to our gas customers. We are looking for individuals to join the AGO team who consider themselves problem solvers, take pride in public safety, and thrive in a fast-paced, exciting work environment. Our communities are your communities.

If you're looking for growth, we've got you covered. We provide a quality training program and opportunities for advancement. No prior locating experience is needed, but previous industry experience is a plus and will be considered when determining starting pay.

Our technicians spend their workdays on the go, independently working in the field using their company-provided vehicle. We use best-in-class ticket and claims management systems to ensure clear and complete mark-out services for the excavator or property owner at the work site.

Your Responsibilities as a Locator :

  • Use locating equipment to determine the location of gas lines in a designated area and mark the area with paint and flags to prevent damage to utility infrastructure. Some hand digging to unearth gas lines may be required.
  • Develop knowledge and understanding of underground utility infrastructure.
  • Follow all company, client, state, and federal damage prevention guidelines.
  • As a technician in our Advanced Gas Operations division, you may locate other utilities in addition to gas lines, depending upon the project to which you are assigned.

These are daytime, full-time positions. We have a 48-hour turnaround time on many locates, which means we generally work the day after holidays and some weekends, as needed. Must be able to work overtime, weekend shifts, and on-call shifts (including nights and weekends), dependent upon the needs of the business.

Why You'll Love Working for Us (Our Benefits) :

  • 100% paid training We're invested in you, starting on your first day.
  • High-quality company vehicle & fuel card All work-related expenses are paid. This means you won't be putting mileage on your personal vehicle for work.
  • Company laptop, phone, & equipment Advanced technology you can count on.
  • DailyPay Access your pay when you need it.
  • Comprehensive insurance options A variety of excellent insurance choices including medical, dental, vision, and life.
  • 401(k) with company match We'll help you save for the long term with our competitive 401(k) employer match program.
  • PTO & paid holidays Even in your first year, so you can spend time with your loved ones.
  • Weekend & holiday on-call pay Earn extra money while on call over the weekend or on a company holiday, even if not called out to an emergency.
  • Technician Incentive Plan Bonuses based on individual quality and safety results.
  • Career Path Program (CPP) Unmatched in our industry. We recognize employees who strive to be the best in their roles with distinctive titles, promotions, and more.
  • USIC All Stars Our employee recognition program. Earn points for living our company values and celebrating milestones. Redeem your points for gift cards or merchandise!
  • Tenure Boots Program $200 voucher to buy a new pair of work boots on your first anniversary and every year after.
  • Education Partnership & Scholarship Program Discounted tuition for USIC employees, their spouses, and dependents through Indiana Tech (courses available online nationwide). Scholarships available for employees. Credit hours for completing our utility locator training curriculum and / or for military service.
  • Employee discounts & perks Outstanding discounts at major retailers and service providers.
  • What We Need from You (Our Requirements) :

  • Able and willing to work outdoors in various weather conditions. Previous outdoor experience is a plus.
  • Available to work overtime, weekends, and on-call shifts as needed.
