Pipeline Integrity Resource (PIR)

Pipeline Integrity Resource is a trusted leader in infrastructure services, delivering high-quality solutions to the telecommunications, utility, and energy industries. As our fiber division continues to expand nationwide, we’re looking for skilled HDD Operator / Locator combo professionals who can run the drill and track the bore with precision.

If you can operate with confidence, locate with accuracy, and travel with a high-performing crew — this is your next move.

What You’ll Do:

Operate Vermeer 20x22 horizontal directional drilling (HDD) rigs for fiber and conduit installation.
Perform locating using Falcon F2 systems (or comparable equipment).
Maintain accurate bore path alignment (depth, pitch, and direction).
Read and interpret bore plans, blueprints, and job specifications.
Communicate continuously with crew members to ensure safe and efficient operations.
Maintain detailed bore logs and daily production records.
Perform minor equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.
Ensure full compliance with 811 regulations and safety standards.
Support job site setup and breakdown as needed.

You are both the driver and the navigator. Precision and communication are non-negotiable.

Company-paid housing while on assignment.
Meal per diem provided.
Structured 3/1 or 4/1 rotation (3 weeks on, 1 week off OR 4 weeks on, 1 week off).
Paid travel to and from job sites.

Work hard. Earn well. Reset at home.

What You Bring:

Minimum 1 year hands-on experience in BOTH HDD operation and locating – REQUIRED.
Experience with Vermeer 20x22 drills preferred.
Experience with Falcon F2 locating systems preferred.
Strong mechanical aptitude.
Ability to read and interpret bore plans and technical documents.
Excellent communication skills — coordination between operator and locator is critical.
CDL preferred (not required, but highly valued).
Physically capable of lifting 75 lbs., bending, kneeling, and working in varying weather conditions.
Willingness to travel full time.

Compensation & Perks:

Paid travel + company-paid housing
Meal per diem
Structured rotation schedule for work-life balance
Work with experienced, professional crews
Strong growth potential in a booming fiber market

Why PIR?

We build critical infrastructure nationwide — and we do it right. Our crews are skilled, safety-focused, and performance-driven. If you take pride in running a straight bore, protecting existing utilities, and delivering clean installs, you’ll fit right in.

Apply today and bring your dual skill set to a company that values it.
