We Need a Locator Who's Done This Before — Many Times

GCS Group is hiring an Experienced Telecom HDD Locator for our Red Deer operations. We're not posting this role because we need someone to learn on the job. We're posting it because our project volume demands a locator who brings years of real-world HDD experience, deep familiarity with SubSite equipment, and the judgment to handle complex bores in congested utility corridors without missing a beat.
