Are you an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys independent field work and is looking to jump start your career? If you are a quality-conscious, safety focused, hard-working individual, then consider an exciting long-term career at USIC!

The USIC name and brand are highly recognized and respected for our strong commitment to quality and safety.

We are America’s leader in underground utility damage prevention and advanced infrastructure services, performing more than 84 million locates each year for the more than 1,400 telecommunications, electric, gas, water, and sewer utilities and municipalities we serve nationwide.

Our mission is to deliver quality, efficient, safe, and innovative solutions to protect our partners’ infrastructure and critical assets.

At USIC, we are committed to Leading from the Ground Up.

Our Advanced Gas Operations (AGO) division provides dedicated service to our gas customers.

We are looking for individuals to join the AGO team who consider themselves problem solvers, take pride in public safety, and thrive in a fast-paced, exciting work environment.

Our communities are your communities.

If you’re looking for growth, we’ve got you covered.

We provide a quality training program and opportunities for advancement.

No prior locating experience is needed, but previous industry experience is a plus and will be considered when determining starting pay.

Our technicians spend their workdays on the go, independently working in the field using their company-provided vehicle.

We use best-in-class ticket and claims management systems to ensure clear and complete mark-out services for the excavator or property owner at the work site.

* Follow all company, client, state, and federal damage prevention guidelines.


* As a technician in our Advanced Gas Operations division, you may locate other utilities in addition to gas lines, depending upon the project to which you are assigned.

These are daytime, full-time positions.

We have a 48-hour turnaround time on many locates, which means we generally work the day after holidays and some weekends, as needed.

Must be able to work overtime, weekend shifts, and on-call shifts (including nights and weekends), dependent upon the needs of the business.

Why You'll Love Working for Us (Our Benefits):


* 100% paid training – We're invested in you, starting on your first day.
