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.

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 experienced locators are encouraged to apply!
