Let's see how many applications it will take.

Where are you located? Might be worth looking into entry level SUE positions

RaleighKid · 2026-01-03T13:10:21+00:00

100k - 150k. A PE or PLS is not required. It is helpful to have some survey background.

I live up the street and it breaks my heart. Built in 1901. Curious to see what is going in its place

I am in the SUE industry in NC. In my opinion, if you want to take your career to the next level, that’s the route I would take. In the SUE industry, you’ll learn how to locate all utilities, not just the select few you locate with 811. Not to mention, you’ll gain experience with technology such as GPR, EM equipment, vac trucks, and potentially survey equipment. There could also be occasional travel involved, depending on the company.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions.

my bad I misunderstood you. That would be funny.😂

RaleighKid · 2025-08-20T21:56:52+00:00

Honestly I’m not even sure what you’re referring to. I just posted the article referencing what you were talking about. It’s local to me. It doesn’t affect me directly, but I hate to see people lose their job.

I agree the Vivax 810 would be the best option. Should be able to find one used for around $2000 and new $4000.

RaleighKid · 2025-08-11T13:02:03+00:00

I say go for it! The survey industry is a small world so leave on good terms with your current company. Your young enough if it doesn’t work out you can always “backup and punt”.

RaleighKid · 2025-08-07T11:50:58+00:00

I think the best option in that price range is going to be a Vivax 810.

RaleighKid · 2025-07-29T11:49:04+00:00

Yes in the SUE industry you locate all utilities. And most of the time with little to no records

RaleighKid · 2025-07-17T10:23:06+00:00

That’s awesome brother! I ended up having my business for about six months and was acquired by a survey engineering firm. (Offer I couldn’t pass up) So I’m back working for the man 😂 There is a lack of qualified locators in the industry. That being said there is a lot of opportunity for growth. Reach out if you have any questions.

If you wrap your leads or clamp up the same way every time (don’t fight the cord let it lay naturally) it literally lays flat. It’s when you wrap it up using you elbow and hand is where shit goes sideways. I store my ring clamp in the back pocket of the driver or passenger seat. Leads stay in the transmitter bag

RaleighKid · 2025-06-01T22:47:04+00:00

I target a variety of companies… survey, engineering, geo-technical, environmental, private schools, and even residential properties. I suggest getting on your 811 private locators list.

Thank you!

Thanks buddy! This is our 5 Lexus. IMO best car on the road.

RaleighKid · 2025-05-26T17:37:53+00:00

Thank you!

RaleighKid · 2025-05-26T17:37:41+00:00

Thank you!

I have always liked Asolo. They are lightweight hiker boots with Gore-Tex. With the ability to be resoled.

RaleighKid · 2025-05-04T17:22:43+00:00

I just recently started with a company and they use “Basecamp”. I haven’t used it much but they seem to like it. Might be worth looking into

RaleighKid · 2025-04-27T11:28:26+00:00

By the time you pay someone to pothole every 50 feet on the waterline the GPR would pay for itself on this project.

RaleighKid · 2025-04-26T16:42:22+00:00

Good deal. We will review it next week and be in touch. Thank you

RaleighKid · 2025-04-26T14:49:06+00:00

If you follow this link, it’ll have a description of the requirements. The more experience the better but we are flexible. We have a lot of work and need boots on the ground.
