• Underground conduit installation, bedding, and backfill
• Setting and checking grades with a rotary laser or builder's level
• Coordinating daily with other trades, the GC, and site supervision

What We Offer

• We're growing across BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Strong performers on term work are the first people we call when the next project lands, and we've hired permanently off temporary placements before
