Description

Our client is an established eastern Idaho home services company under new local leadership, and they are adding a lead to run their underground and excavation work out of Rigby, covering Idaho Falls and the surrounding area. This is hands on work: you run the machine and lead a two person crew on sewer laterals, water service lines, main repairs, septic, and new construction trenching. Winter is their busy season for excavation, so this is year round work, not a seasonal layoff at frost. If you know your way around a trench and want to lead, this one is worth a look.
