Keep accurate bore logs and contribute to site documentation
Work within a tight-knit crew where everyone pulls their weight

Experience & Certifications

Proven seat time on Ditch Witch HDD drill rigs - this is a firm requirement
Hands-on experience working with SubSite locating systems during live bores
Background in telecom, fibre, or underground utility installation strongly preferred
All certifications must be valid and verified before your start date - no exceptions
