Utility Locator - VA - Field Fredericksburg Northern Neck

Cable Protection Services, Inc

Job Description

Job Description

A utility locator is a person or company specializing in identifying and marking the location of underground utilities (like pipes and cables) before construction or excavation work begins, using specialized equipment and techniques to ensure safety and prevent damage. Utility locators play a crucial role in preventing accidents and damage to underground infrastructure during construction projects.

How they work: They use specialized equipment like ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locators to detect and map the location, depth, and direction of buried utilities. They may also use tracer wires or transmitter/receiver systems to locate and trace utilities. Once the utilities are located, they mark the area with flags, paint, or other visual markers to indicate their location and electronically document.

Why they are important: Damage to underground utilities can cause serious accidents, injuries, and property damage, as well as costly repairs and disruptions to essential services. Utility locators are often contracted by One-Call/811 centers to provide locating services for excavation projects and must adhere to the guidelines of 811 ONE CALL systems and any state regulated requirements

Types of utilities located: Water and irrigation pipes, Gas and oil lines, Electrical power lines, Communication lines, Sewers and drainage

Requirements:

  • Valid Driver's License: A valid driver's license is typically required to operate company vehicles.
  • Safe Driving Record: A clean driving record is often a requirement.
  • Ability to Work Outdoors: Utility locating work is often done outdoors in various weather conditions.
  • Computer Proficiency: Some positions may require basic computer skills.
  • Ability to Distinguish Colors: Being able to distinguish between colors used to identify wiring and mark underground utilities is important.
  • Ability to Lift and Move Equipment: Utility locators may need to lift and move equipment up to 50 pounds or more.
  • Routinely: work alone in remote locations with arms above shoulder level, operate vehicle, squeeze, fine hand motion, bend, stoop, stand, walk, lift up to 55 pounds, use keyboard and mouse and carry 3-15 lb electronic locating equipment for extended periods of time, perform work in all weather conditions, operate a company vehicle in safe manner, work overtime, possible travel, and perform on-call/after hours responsibilities on a rotating schedule

Benefits

  • Paid Training Program
  • Paid Travel Expenses
  • Company "take home" Vehicle and fuel card
  • Uniform attire and safety equipment
  • Paid Time Off and Holidays
  • Insurance (including medical, prescription, dental, vision, disability, life insurance)

  • Quarterly, Anniversary, Birthday, Christmas Bonus
  • Cellular discounts
  • Company phone or "Bring your own Phone program"

Ability to Pass a Drug Screen: Many companies require applicants to pass a pre-employment drug screen.
