Ready to launch your career in Utility Construction? Apply to grow with a supportive team. Your Typical Day

A LLaborer day starts with a quick plan and safety check, then you’re out on-site with a utility crew building Underground Utilities that communities rely on. You’ll rotate between tasks—staging materials, keeping the work zone tidy, and helping the team stay coordinated as excavation and trenching progress. Some days you’ll support traffic control as work moves along roads; other days you’ll be near pipe crews as Water Main, Sewer Main, or Storm Drainage lines go in, or around Gas Utility work areas. You’ll learn by watching skilled teammates, asking questions, and jumping in when the crew needs an extra set of hands. Expect outdoor work, steady physical labor, and a 4/10 schedule with occasional O/T—plus the satisfaction of seeing real Public Works and Heavy Civil Construction progress by the end of the shift.
