  • Assist equipment operators by guiding trenching, bedding, pipe placement, and backfill operations.
  • Work in trenches to set pipe, check grade, install fittings, and confirm alignment.
  • Ensure trench bottoms are properly prepared (bedding, shaping, moisture/compaction requirements).
  • Install fittings, couplers, manholes, catch basins, valves, hydrants, and related structures.
  • Perform trench work including safe entry/exit, bedding preparation, material placement, and cleanup.
  • Conduct basic checks/inspections on installed pipe to verify alignment, connections, and workmanship.
  • Maintain a clean and safe job site by following SRP Projects safety policies, ground disturbance requirements, and trench safety procedures.
  • Work efficiently with the crew to meet daily production goals and project timelines.

Qualifications

  • Minimum 5+ years of experience as a Pipe Layer on sewer, water, storm, or underground civil projects.
  • Strong knowledge of municipal underground utility installation methods and materials.
  • Proven ability to read and work from grade stakes, elevations, and blueprint layouts.
  • Skilled in pipe cutting, fitting, rigging guidance, and installation best practices.
  • Extensive experience working in trenches and understanding trench construction standards.
  • Strong understanding of trench safety, including shoring, sloping/benching, spoil pile placement, and hazard recognition.
  • Physically fit and able to lift 50+ lbs, work in varying weather, and perform labour-intensive tasks.
  • Reliable attendance, strong work ethic, and ability to work as part of a tight crew.
  • Class 5 License required.
