  • Read and follow job plans and specifications.
  • Perform routine equipment checks and request necessary repairs.
  • Work in confined spaces and adapt to physical demands as the job requires.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Familiarity with sewer laterals, water mains, and excavation techniques.
  • Knowledge of tools like sewer cameras, missile/mole, and lining equipment.
  • Ability to dig and perform physically demanding tasks in various weather conditions.
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • CDL license preferred but not required.
  • Service plumbing experience is a plus.


Physical Requirements:

  • Comfortable with digging, kneeling, crouching, and working in trenches.
  • Capable of lifting and carrying heavy materials.
