The ideal candidate is someone who takes pride in high-quality workmanship and is comfortable working in a fast-paced, heavy construction environment.
While you will be based out of the Atlanta metro area, this position requires a commitment to traveling and working out of town (per diem provided and home on the weekends).

- Site Maintenance: Maintain a clean and organized job site, manage material inventory, and ensure all tools are properly staged and maintained.
- Travel Operations: Cooperate with crew members during out-of-town assignments, maintaining high productivity and camaraderie.
Qualifications
- Experience: Previous experience in the construction industry is required. Specific experience in heavy civil or underground utility construction (pipe laying, earthwork, or sitework) is highly preferred.
- Location & Travel: Must live within a commutable distance to the Atlanta metro area. Candidates must be willing and available to work out of town during the week. Per diem is provided for travel; crews are typically home on the weekends.
- Technical Skills: Ability to read a tape measure, use basic power tools, and understand grade stakes or laser levels is a plus.
- Physical Requirements: Ability to perform strenuous physical labor for extended periods, including lifting up to 50 lbs, kneeling, crouching, and working in outdoor elements (heat, rain, or cold).
- Safety Mindset: A strong commitment to OSHA safety standards, specifically regarding trench safety and working around heavy machinery.
- Other Requirements: Must be authorized to work in the US and pass a pre-employment drug screening and physical.
