What does a part time utility locator do?

A Part Time Utility Locator is responsible for identifying and marking underground utilities such as gas, water, sewer, and electrical lines before construction or excavation work begins. They use specialized equipment and maps to detect the location of these utilities and ensure that digging does not damage them. This role is crucial for public safety and preventing service interruptions. Part time utility locators often work flexible hours and may be employed by utility companies or third-party contractors.
