As a Damage Prevention Technician you will:
- Locate underground utilities i.e., high-voltage electrical cables, water lines, sewer lines, steam lines, gas lines, telephone lines, and more, for a prescribed geography
- Use state of the art locating equipment, geographic information systems (GIS), maps, and engineering drawings to identify the location of underground utilities
- Thoroughly search for all gas, phone and fiber optic cables in an area and mark them with spray paint/coloured flags
- Prepare reports and documentation to track the work you and your team are doing
You'll mostly work Monday to Friday during the day with flexible hours, with overtime work on the weekends or evenings as required.
