About this Opportunity:
Ready to be the person who keeps our fibre network safe, accurate, and moving? Join Execulink this season as an Infrastructure Locator — a hands on role that blends outdoor fieldwork, technical problem solving, and direct customer contact. You’ll use industry standard locating gear and GIS tools to find and mark underground fibre, interpret maps and as builts, and coordinate with contractors to prevent costly excavation damage. Expect varied days: pre trip checks, site surveys, on site troubleshooting, and occasional emergency locate requests — all within a team that values safety, professionalism, and getting the job done right.

This seasonal role is an excellent place to grow your skills in telecommunications: deepen your knowledge of fibre networks and utility mapping, gain practical experience with tools like Utilocate and ArcGIS, and build strong customer facing and field operations experience.
