TekCom Resources is seeking an Underground Equipment/Directional Drill Operator for a full-time, permanent-hire role with our telecom construction client. This role will require out of town travel for 30 days at a time.

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. Candidates MUST have directional drilling experience to be considered for this role. This work is focused on mostly rural construction.

•Help keep projects on schedule and ensure quality of underground installation work meets company standards.
•Participate in the maintenance of an organized warehouse and "yard."

Our client would like to see this experience in your background:

•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.
• CDL licensure is VERY valuable for this role
