GPR Scanning Technician — Your Locating Skills Transfer
Work – Concrete Scanning, Cutting, Coring, Demolition & Removal (Cutting Division)

Already run GPR or subsurface locating? You're most of the way to this job.
Utility locating, geophysics, NDT, mining, UXO — reading subsurface data is the hard-won skill, and you already have it. The medium changes from soil to concrete; the work stays the same: read it right, mark it clean, document it. We handle the concrete training.
Why this is worth your time
- Pay that scales with you. We pay for what you bring — from capable beginners to seasoned scanning pros.
- No two days the same. A different site most days, with variety and travel across Alberta and beyond.
- Top-tier gear. Brand-new GSSI Flex NX scanning system — the best tool on the market.
- A team that means it. Quality, safety, and accountability are non-negotiable here.
- A future, not just a job. A growing values & mission driven company — and, for the right person, the chance to help build and run an expanding scanning division.
What you'll run
- Scan with our GSSI Flex NX to locate embedded hazards before any cut, core, demo, or removal
- Interpret the data, mark it on the deck, and brief the crew
- Document clean — work orders, job notes, and reports via GoCanvas & Jobber
- Run electric core drills and back up the saw and core crews when scanning is light
- Drive truck & trailer, cube van, cargo van, or pickup to sites across city, rural, and industrial environments
- Keep the gear right — daily cleaning, preventative maintenance, basic repair, and condition reporting
What you bring
- GPR / subsurface scanning experience — capable beginners considered, experienced operators preferred (pay scales to capability)
- Sharp attention to detail; you read and interpret scan data accurately
- Clear written communication for work orders, job notes, and reports
- Reliable, punctual, and adaptable to changing daily work
- Valid Class 5 (non-GDL) licence, clean 3-year abstract
- Can clear all industrial/plant site access requirements (safety tickets, D&A testing)
- CSTS 2020 (free, online, non-expiring via ACSA)
- Saturday availability as schedules require
- Legally entitled to work in Canada
Nice to have: Saw/core cutting experience (extends your role + earns a hybrid premium) · GoCanvas / Jobber · industrial or energy project background · First Aid / OHSA · silica awareness.
