The Work
Rural, off highway work: road allowance, highway right of way and rural corridors where fibre and conduit are going into the ground. You walk the route ahead of the plow, trencher and directional drill, locate every buried facility that crosses or parallels the build, and mark it so the crew digs without a strike. Access is by truck, UTV or snowmobile, and a normal day can mean 5 to 15 km on foot. It runs all year,



July heat and January frost line included.

What You'll Do

Locate and mark buried telecom, power, gas, pipeline and water facilities ahead of construction crews using electromagnetic locating equipment

Sweep the route, confirm crossings and depths, and support hand exposure before any ground disturbance

Read utility maps, as-builts, site plans, legal land descriptions and client drawings

Complete locate reports, sketches, photos and daily paperwork accurately and on time

Drive a half ton with a light duty trailer, run a UTV or snowmobile into remote sites, and keep the equipment and vehicle maintained

Take part in hazard assessments and tailgate meetings, and hold the site to Ground Disturbance requirements

What You Bring

Current ALP locator certification through Utility Safety Partners, and verifiable line locating experience

Ground Disturbance Level II, H2S Alive and Standard First Aid, all current

Valid Class 5 licence with a clean three year abstract, and comfortable towing a light duty trailer

Confident with mapping software, legal land descriptions and utility drawings

Fit to walk 5 to 15 km a day in any weather, and available for long days, weekends and time away from home





Able to pass a pre-employment drug and alcohol screening

Nice to Have

Buried Facility Training, and experience around lease sites, batteries, satellites and pipeline right of ways

ATV, UTV or snowmobile rider certification, or solid riding experience

Time locating on fibre or conduit builds, and GPS or GIS based field reporting

Why Locators Take This Job
Year round work, not a spring to freeze up contract that leaves you hunting for winter hours. The range is posted at $30.00 to $40.00 and where you start comes down to your certification and the locating you can verify, not a number talked down after the interview. On a telecom build the locator keeps the plow moving and the crew safe, and valuable locators do not sit on the bench.

Pay is a gross hourly rate before deductions.

$30.00 to $40.00 per hour to start, based on experience and qualifications
