Fiber Optic Cable Plow Operator / Heavy Equipment Operator

QOS Fiber (Quad Optical Services) – Pulaski, Wisconsin
$25–$35 per hour | $2,000 Sign-On Bonus

Build the Infrastructure That Connects Communities

QOS Fiber is seeking an experienced Fiber Optic Cable Plow Operator to join our growing underground utility construction team in Pulaski, Wisconsin. This is an opportunity to build a long-term career while helping install the fiber-optic infrastructure that connects homes, businesses, and communities across the region.

QOS Fiber is a veteran-friendly employer committed to safety, quality, teamwork, and professional development. We provide modern equipment, stable year-round employment, paid training, competitive benefits, and opportunities for employees to advance as our company grows.

Position Summary

The Cable Plow Operator is responsible for safely operating vibratory cable plows and other heavy construction equipment to install underground fiber-optic conduit, microduct, cable, and telecommunications infrastructure. The operator works closely with foremen, utility locators, equipment operators, and ground crews to complete projects safely, efficiently, and according to customer specifications.

Daily responsibilities include following marked utility routes and project plans, protecting existing underground utilities, performing equipment inspections, identifying routine maintenance needs, and maintaining a safe and organized jobsite. The operator must consistently meet production and quality expectations while following company, customer, and industry safety standards.

Qualifications

Qualified applicants should have at least one to two years of experience operating cable plows, trenchers, excavators, skid steers, directional drilling equipment, or comparable heavy construction or agricultural equipment. Previous experience in fiber-optic construction, telecommunications, underground utilities, excavation, pipeline construction, or agricultural equipment operation is strongly preferred.

Applicants must have a valid driver's license and be dependable, mechanically inclined, safety-focused, and comfortable working outdoors in changing weather and jobsite conditions. The position requires someone who can work effectively with a construction crew while maintaining high standards for safety, productivity, and workmanship.

A CDL is preferred but not required. QOS Fiber provides CDL training assistance for qualified employees and offers additional pay to CDL holders.

Compensation and Benefits

QOS Fiber offers competitive pay of $25–$35 per hour based on experience, along with a $2,000 sign-on bonus. Employees may also receive additional compensation for holding a CDL.

Our benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, and life insurance; short-term and long-term disability coverage; paid holidays and vacation; and a 401(k) plan with company match. We also provide paid on-the-job training, CDL training assistance, career advancement opportunities, and stable, year-round employment.

The typical schedule is Monday through Thursday, with Fridays worked as needed. Most projects are located in Wisconsin, although occasional regional travel may be required. Employees are home most weekends.
