HDD Locator
North Star Contracting Inc. | Calgary, AB

North Star Contracting is seeking an experienced HDD Locator to join our underground utility division. We specialize in full-scope underground construction solutions for power, telecommunications, gas, water, and sewer projects across Alberta.

This is a hands-on role that goes beyond traditional locating. We’re looking for a skilled locator who is also comfortable operating support equipment and assisting the crew with utility installation, backfill, and restoration once drilling is complete.

Key Responsibilities

Accurately locate and track Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) bore paths using locating equipment
Interpret utility drawings, plans, and specifications to ensure accurate bore paths
Perform pre-job planning, utility locates, and hazard assessments
Work closely with the Driller to ensure bore paths meet project requirements and specifications
Operate support equipment including excavators, skid steers, and loaders
Assist with utility installations, pipe laying, backfill, and site restoration
Maintain high standards of safety, quality, and professionalism on every job site

Requirements

Required:

Minimum 5 years of HDD locating experience
Strong experience operating heavy equipment (excavators, skid steers, loaders, etc.)
Previous experience in telecommunications and/or power utility construction
Valid Ground Disturbance Level II Certification
Valid Class 5 Driver’s License (clean abstract preferred)
Ability to work outdoors in all weather conditions and physically demanding environments

Preferred:

First Aid, CSTS 2020, WHMIS, and other safety certifications
Class 1 or Class 3 Driver’s License
Experience with power, telecommunications, gas, water, and sewer projects

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a reliable, safety-conscious team player who takes pride in accuracy and quality. The ideal candidate communicates well with the drilling crew and is willing to support all aspects of underground construction projects — not just locating.

Why Join North Star?

Competitive hourly wage: $35 – $40 per hour (based on experience)
Year-round work with a growing company
Modern equipment and tools
Strong safety culture and supportive team environment
Opportunities for growth and advancement within a rapidly expanding organization

If you’re an experienced HDD Locator who enjoys working in a hands-on, team-oriented environment, we’d love to hear from you.
