As an Underground Equipment/Directional Drill Operator, you will operate heavy equipment necessary for underground fiber installation - i.e. plowing, installing duct, pulling fiber and burying drops.

• Participate in the maintenance of an organized warehouse and "yard."
• Communicate with customers on potential issues and pass that feedback along to Foreman or Construction Coordinator.

• At least 1-2 years of underground construction experience; utilities construction experience unrelated to telecom, such as gas, power and water line installation, is relevant and welcome for this role!
• Supervisory experience is not required but is highly valuable.
