Job description

Omni Underground is hiring Construction Workers/General Laborers to join our growing underground utility crews.

This is a hands-on field position supporting directional drilling, potholing, trenching, backfilling, compaction, vault and box setting, conduit installation, and restoration. We are looking for dependable people who aren't afraid to work, take direction well, and want an opportunity to learn and advance in the underground utility industry.

Construction or underground utility experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right person. Experience operating equipment or holding a Class A CDL is a major plus.

If you want steady work, enjoy working outdoors, and are looking for an opportunity to develop into an Equipment Operator, Drill Operator, Locator, or Foreman, we want to hear from you.

Compensation:

$20 - $27 hourly


Responsibilities:

  • Perform general construction labor supporting underground utility installation and directional drilling crews.

  • Assist with potholing, trenching, conduit installation, backfilling, compaction, and restoration.

  • Operate hand tools, compactors, pumps, saws, and other construction equipment safely.

  • Assist equipment operators with excavation, vault and box setting, material handling, and jobsite setup.

  • Load, unload, stage, and maintain tools, materials, conduit, and equipment throughout the workday.

  • Follow Dig Alert markings, jobsite safety requirements, and direction from Foremen and Equipment Operators.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe jobsite while helping the crew meet daily production goals.


Qualifications:

  • Previous construction, underground utility, excavation, or general labor experience preferred but not required.

  • Class A CDL strongly preferred.

  • Experience with potholing/vacuum excavation, backhoes, mini excavators, skid steers, or similar equipment is a plus.

  • Ability to perform physical construction work, including lifting, digging, carrying materials, and working around heavy equipment.

  • Dependable attendance, reliable transportation, and willingness to show up ready to work every day.

  • Ability to follow instructions, communicate with the crew, and work safely around existing underground utilities.

  • Willingness to work outdoors in varying conditions and work overtime or occasional weekends when projects require it.
