Experienced HDD Driller – Underground Telecom

<p><br></p>

<p>We're Looking for Someone Who Knows the Drill</p>

<p>At GCS Group, we don't spend a lot of time explaining what HDD is to our operators — we expect you already know. We're a Red Deer-based telecom contractor with active bore crews running steady project schedules, and right now we have a seat open for an Experienced HDD Driller who's ready to step in and contribute from day one.</p>

<p>This isn't a training role. We need someone who has put real hours behind a Ditch Witch drill, understands ground conditions, and can run a bore with confidence. In return, we offer the kind of work environment that experienced operators actually want — consistent hours, a capable crew, and a company that takes care of the people who perform.</p>
