Dig trench to proper line and grade, including digging around existing utilities and working in single and double stacked trench boxes.
Set and shift trench boxes and shoring systems safely and in the correct sequence.
Handle, rig, and place pipe, manholes, catch basins, and other structures in and out of the trench.
Place bedding material and backfill trenches to specification.
Read and interpret site plans, specifications, and cut sheets to verify depth, slope, and elevation.
Work in close coordination with the Pipe Layer, Topman, and Site Foreman to keep production moving and the crew protected.

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe jobsite.
Perform additional duties as assigned by the Site Foreman.

Demonstrated ability to dig to grade, including precision digging around live utilities and in confined trench conditions.
Experience working in single and double stacked trench boxes and with shoring systems.
Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, profile sheets, and cut sheets.
Working understanding of GPS and laser guided grade control systems.
Proficiency on multiple machine types (excavator, dozer, skid steer, loader) preferred.
Working knowledge of OSHA workplace safety regulations and best practices, including trench and excavation standards.
Strong communication with pipe crew members and consistent use of hand signals and spotting practices.
Commitment to daily machine maintenance and responsible care of company equipment.
Reliable attendance, with the ability to report on time for early start times and to work overtime and occasional Saturdays as project schedules require.
Valid driver's license; CDL preferred but not required.
Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and meet the physical demands of a field role.
