About the Role
Our Advanced Gas Operations (AGO) division provides dedicated service to our gas customers.

Our communities are your communities.
If you're an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys independent field work and is looking to jump start your career, this role is for you. As a Locator, you will spend your workdays on the go, independently working in the field using a company-provided vehicle. You will use best-in-class ticket and claims management systems to ensure clear and complete mark-out services for excavators or property owners at the work site.
We provide a quality training program and opportunities for advancement. No prior locating experience is needed, though previous industry experience is a plus. This is a daytime, full-time position with a 48-hour turnaround time on many locates, meaning you may work the day after holidays and some weekends as needed.
