Utility Locator

Our company:

We are about building communities, not just networks. We believe that people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to making life better for our customers, our employees, and the communities where we live and work. Founded in the underserved Toronto neighbourhood of Liberty Village, we’ve always understood the importance of connection. That’s why we committed ourselves to building a fibre-optic network throughout the community and have continued to expand our network ever since. For 30+ years, we have been proud to build, own, and operate an extensive & robust fibre-optic network throughout Toronto & Montreal. Now with 400+ employees, we continue to deploy our own construction, fibre splicing, installation, network operations and support teams. Our services are delivered to thousands of commercial and residential service addresses using Beanfield owned facilities.

Our Values:

We Are Community: People first, always. We build trust through empathy and honesty. We align around our collective purpose. We are service of the whole. We are stronger together than we could ever be alone. When we show up for each other, we can create anything. Being in community is what gives us purpose and meaning.

We Are Different: We know who we are and are creating our own destiny. We see the world differently. We explore. We are curious. We go first and do what others haven’t done before. By thinking differently, we build better.

We Cherish Momentum: Momentum is more than just being busy or ticking items off our to-do list. It’s about nurturing our ideas, creating rituals and routines that align with our priorities, and staying optimistic in the face of setbacks. It’s about feeling in control and being confident that we can find solutions to whatever problems come our way.

Purpose of The Role:

It’s not often other telecommunications companies can say: we build, own, and operate the largest independent fibre-optic network in Montreal and Toronto. It starts with you, our future Utility Locator who drives from site to site— to mark underground utilities that our teams depend on for construction projects. You’ll jump in your Beanfield vehicle (after conducting a safety check) and travel to different work sites alongside your trusty laptop. You’ll work through locating tickets, read and update maps/sketches and ensure our crews and contractors are working in the correct area. All while ensuring that your safety and the team’s safety is top priority on-site, and on the road.

Beanfield has owned and operated our fibre optic network in the GTA for over 30 years. Our in-house locates team work hard to ensure the health of our fibre optic network. Our team is looking for a responsible, detail-oriented individual to join us.
