Job description

General Laborer - Underground Utilities & Heavy Civil

Location: Hagerstown, MD

Position Type: Direct Placement (Full-Time, Permanent)


Build Your Career in Heavy Construction

Are you hard-working, reliable, and looking for a real career path instead of just another job? We are hiring a General Laborer for heavy civil and utility construction projects.

No prior heavy civil experience is required. If you bring a strong work ethic, rock-solid reliability, and a focus on safety, we will train you on the tools, trade skills, and machinery you need to build a high-paying, long-term career.

Your Development Path

We don't want you to stay a laborer forever. We offer a clear, structured path for advancement:

  1. General Laborer: Master hands-on tools, safety protocols, compaction, and pipe laser setup.
  2. Pipe Layer: Learn to lay, set, and secure underground utility systems.
  3. Equipment Operator: Earn your seat in excavator, loader, and dozer cabs!

Key Responsibilities

  • Hands-On Site Work: Work alongside experienced tradespeople using hand and power tools for trenching, utility setup, and site preparation.
  • Compaction & Grade Tools: Operate compaction equipment (rammers, plate compactors, rollers) and set up pipe lasers for proper grade alignment.
  • Machine Operation: Learn to operate small pieces of construction equipment as you complete site training.
  • Safety & Support: Assist with staging materials, maintaining trench safety, and ensuring a safe, efficient jobsite.

Candidate Requirements

  • Driver's License: Valid Driver's License required.
  • Certifications: OSHA 10 certification is preferred, but a willingness to obtain it upon hire is required.
  • Experience: Entry level! No prior heavy civil experience required. (Prior general construction or pipe laying experience is a plus.)
  • Key Traits: Extreme reliability, punctuality, strong safety awareness, and an eagerness to learn new skills.


Employment Type: FULL_TIME
