Underground utility construction installs, relocates, protects, and maintains the buried infrastructure that serves development projects and communities. The work divides into wet utilities (potable water mains, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, lift stations) and dry utilities (electrical conduit, natural gas, telecom, fiber, and cable). Related tasks include trenching, excavation, shoring, utility locating, horizontal directional drilling, and tie-ins to existing systems. Underground utility work is a core focus in site development and heavy civil projects. Demand remains strong in water and sewer replacement, broadband expansion, data center development, highway programs, and large site work. The roles span foremen and skilled trades (pipefitters, electricians, equipment operators) through project managers and engineers. Amundson Group recruits and places candidates across underground utilities nationwide, drawing from our network of 90,000+ construction professionals and serving 250+ construction companies in this sector.
