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.
