You deserve an awesome career! At Execulink, you'll join a team of talented individuals who feel like family and support your growth and career goals. As we rapidly grow, we continue our unwavering commitment to live and breathe our Vision, Mission and Values. While enhancing life at home, work and play, we continue to grow our team with innovative individuals who are as excited about creating an awesome experience for our customers as we are! 

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 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. If you enjoy physical, active work, thrive under changing conditions, and take pride in precise, safety‑first execution, this role is rewarding and offers clear opportunities to learn.
