Job description

Stake Center Locating is recruiting experienced Locators to complete our Watch and Protect team.
If you have been locating for a while, then you know the drill. You know that not everyone can do this work and do it well. You know that the independence and problem solving demonstrated every day comes with big responsibilities. If you are reading this though it probably also means that despite hard days and long days, you still want to be a locate technician.
Stake Center values your experience. We respect the miles you have logged, the tickets you have cleared and the expertise that only comes with time. We have also seen the trends in our industry. There is a lot of bouncing around between companies and we want to be your last stop.
Since 1997, we have been on a mission to make Stake Center a better place to work. We have been working with our locate technicians to make Stake Center the company of choice for locators like you. In just the last six months:
  • We began an aggressive role out plan to put best-in-the-business locating devices and late model vehicles, into the hands of 100% of our locate technicians.
  • We are providing vouchers that can be used on 300+ types of Red Wing safety shoes (a total of $100 after every12 months of service).
  • We instituted a Hall of Fame to recognize the best locators in the company and we believe, some of the very best in the industry.

Qualifications:
  • At least two or more years of experience in the locate industry.
  • Eighteen years of age or older.
  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Valid driver license with an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to carry up to 5 lbs of electronic locating equipment for extended periods of time; lifting objects up to 25 lbs or lifting in excess of 75 lbs with tool aids.
  • Pass pre-employment background and drug screening.

We understand what is at stake for our employees, our customers, and our customers� customers. That is why we continually invest in our people, equipment and technology. To us you are a professional - this is a career not just a job!
