Coordinate actively with the HDD drill and locating teams on site
Complete accurate daily field reports and equipment logs
Support junior operators with proper technique and site awareness

Requirements

Valid certifications required and must be confirmed current before your start date
Demonstrated hydrovac operating experience in a construction or utility environment
Experience working on telecom, HDD, or underground utility projects is a strong asset
Solid understanding of safe dig practices and utility identification
Strong communication skills and a team-first mindset
Valid driver's license; Class 3 an asset

Compensation & Benefits

Above-average hours on long-term telecom project contracts
Wages commensurate with experience
Full company benefits
Annual Christmas bonus tied to individual performance
LOA and accommodations provided for employees traveling from 100+ km away

You've put in the time and built the skills - now bring them to a crew that will put them to good use. Apply to GCS Group and let's talk.
