Who We're Looking For
We're not looking for someone to fill a gap for 6 to 12 months.
This isn't a stopgap job.
It's the start of a rewarding career, and our goal is to help you grow into your full potential.
We are building a team of professionals who take ownership, communicate openly and honestly, follow through on commitments, lead by example, and are committed to continuous improvement.
This role is not suited to people who regularly arrive late, cut corners, resist feedback, blame others for mistakes, cannot follow systems and processes, or are simply looking for a short-term job.
The right person for this role:
Plays as part of one team.
You leave your ego at the door, respect your teammates,



and know the best outcomes happen when we work together safely and efficiently.
Does it right, the first time.
You follow proven systems and processes — because in this work, shortcuts can put lives at risk.
Accuracy and integrity matter.
Thinks ahead.
You see a few steps beyond where you are, plan what's needed, and stay focused on delivering safe, high-quality work.
Reliable under pressure.
You show up on time, follow through on what you say you'll do, and maintain standards — because our clients and teammates rely on it.
Accountable with the right attitude.
Punctual, safety-first, reliable, and eager to learn.
Not just following instructions, but actively listening, applying feedback, and building confidence through practice.
Communicates clearly.
You don't need to be polished on day one — but you do need to be clear, approachable, and willing to develop into someone who can confidently deal with clients and work well with others.
If you want to be trained, developed, and supported to become a skilled professional, this is your pathway.
With the help of our internal training program, you'll progress through structured online and practical training, step up into a junior technician role, and prepare for your Certloc Certified Locator Assessment.
From there, the path is wide open: continuous professional development, leadership opportunities, and the chance to mentor the next wave of trainees.

Your work prevents accidents, saves lives, and supports critical underground infrastructure.
Tools & Technology

What You'll Do
This isn't a desk job.
It's hands-on, outdoors, and no two days are the same.
You'll be working on construction sites, roads, parks, beaches, schools, and private properties — sometimes in the sun, sometimes in the rain.
If that excites you, keep reading.
If you only want air-conditioning and an office chair, this probably isn't for you.

Record and refine processesfor revision and deeper understanding.
Complete weekly training assessmentsthroughGeoscope University, ensuring you stay on track with your development.

Week by week, you'll build skills, gain confidence, and develop a profession that can support you for life.
What You'll Need
This is an entry-level role, so no prior experience is required.
What matters most is your attitude, willingness to learn, and most of all, commitment.
This role isn't for everyone, but to succeed here, you must:
Be ready to work outdoorsall day, in all weather conditions (rain, heat, cold).
Stay physically active— the job requires walking, bending, lifting, and being on your feet for long hours.
Bring a safety-first mindset— cutting corners is not an option when lives and projects are on the line.
Show up consistently— punctual, reliable, and committed to following through on tasks.
Work as part of a team— respect your teammates, communicate openly, and leave ego at the door.
Commit to training and growth— keeping a diary, completing weekly assessments, and sticking with the program.

Be legally entitled to work in Australia.
Be willing to commit to a 2 year minimum training agreement after successful onboarding, to ensure you and the company both benefit from the investment in your development.
If you are not looking to continuously learn, improve, and challenge yourself, this won't be the right fit.
