The work

What a locate technician actually does.

Field work, outdoors, on live infrastructure. The job is to find what is underground and mark it before anyone breaks ground.

Field

Locate and mark

Find and mark water, electric, sewer, gas, traditional cable, and fibre optic utilities ahead of excavation.

Safety

Work to the safety program

PPE, defensive driving, work-site hazard assessment, and monthly safety meetings are conditions of the job, not extras.

Record

Leave a defensible record

The ticket, the marks, and the field record follow the job. Locate performance and drawing accuracy are audited.
