Utility Locator/SUE Technician

At InfraMap, we love unraveling the tangled world of infrastructure buried beneath our cities. We think of ourselves as urban archaeologists. Mapping the underworld is like solving a puzzle, blindfolded. It’s not just about using fancy electronic devices to detect pipes. It takes knowledge of the utility infrastructure we map. It takes document research to find records dating back over 100 years. It takes a team of highly trained technicians, surveyors, draftspersons, and engineers working together with one goal — to get it right.

InfraMap Corp. is growing and we want YOU! We welcome talented, innovative individuals to join our team. If you are a utility locating professional in Indianapolis or just interested in what we do, we would love to talk to you.

At InfraMap our goal is to offer you not just another job, but a career where you can learn, grow, and thrive. We offer competitive pay, full benefits STARTING DAY ONE and promote from within!
