and daily activities. Qualifications: Experience: 3 years operating
bore machines in pipeline, utility, or civil construction

and using pre-bore profiles. Leadership: Ability to hire, lead, and
manage a helper or line locator in the field. Certifications: CDL

credentials a plus. Work Ethic: Team-oriented and willing to
contribute outside of primary role when needed. Physical
Requirements: Ability to lift up to 80 lbs, work in rugged outdoor

to lend a hand on the ROW, you’re part of a team that gets the job
done right—and takes pride in doing it together. If you’re ready to
bring your expertise to a company that sees your value, we’re ready
to talk.
