Laborer - Civil Infrastructure

Build Essential Infrastructure With a Crew That Gives You a Path to Learn, Contribute, and Move Up. 

About Sunset Valley Construction

We're a sitework and underground utilities contractor focused on building and maintaining essential infrastructure. Our team is projected to double in size over the next 4 years, providing career growth opportunities and a team that builds projects while building up people.

How You’ll Contribute

We're growing, increasing capacity, and building a stronger field team with room for people to move into higher-level roles over time. You’ll support field operations by preparing work, using tools, and staying one step ahead of excavation and utility crews on roadwork, site work, and commercial/multifamily development projects.

What You’ll Get To Do

• Keep field crews moving by preparing tools, materials, and work areas before they’re needed 
• Help build infrastructure that holds up by supporting quality field work from setup through completion
• Protect crew time by keeping equipment organized, accounted for, and ready to use
• Keep work accurate using hand tools, small power tools, rotary lasers, and field technology
• Support quality underground utility work by helping with trench work, drainage, water mains, stakes, grades, blueprints, and elevations, where your experience allows
• Help the crew work better together by staying aware of what is happening around you
• Build toward the next field role by learning the path from Laborer to Pipe Layer to Foreman to Superintendent
