An Underground Service Locator identifies and maps underground utilities to prevent damage during excavation work. You might work on construction sites, roadworks, or other projects where digging is required. Underground Service Locators focus on accurately detecting and marking the location of utilities such as gas, water, and electrical lines. You’ll use specialised equipment to ensure the safety and efficiency of construction activities.
Underground Service Locators play a crucial role in protecting public infrastructure and safety. You’ll need to be detail-oriented, skilled with technology, and able to work in various outdoor conditions. You’ll collaborate with construction teams, engineers, and utility companies to ensure that all underground services are identified and recorded accurately.
