Missile Crew Worker-Dynetek

Posted Wednesday, June 17, 2026 at 4:00 AM

The Missile Crew Member performs trenchless underground boring operations using pneumatic missile (pneumatic piercing / impact moling) equipment to install conduit, duct, and utility infrastructure beneath roads, driveways, sidewalks, and other surfaces with minimal ground disturbance. Working under the direction of the Foreman or Crew Leader, this role supports underground electric utility construction projects by executing missile bore setups, launches, and conduit pulls in accordance with engineered bore plans, utility specifications, and all applicable safety regulations.

The Missile Crew Member works alongside HDD operators, locators, and field crews to ensure safe, accurate, and efficient underground installations.

Missile boring (also known as pneumatic piercing or impact moling) uses a compressed-air-driven piercing tool to create a horizontal underground bore path. This trenchless method is commonly used for road crossings, driveway crossings, and areas where open trenching is not permitted or practical. The bore path is then used to pull conduit, duct, or utility lines through.

The following duties are representative of the work performed in this position. Other duties may be assigned as needed.

• Set up and operate pneumatic missile (piercing tool / impact mole) equipment for trenchless horizontal underground bores at road crossings, driveway crossings, and other designated locations.
• Dig entry and exit pits to required dimensions and depths per bore plan specifications; shore or protect excavations in compliance with OSHA trenching standards.
• Align and launch the pneumatic missile tool to achieve accurate bore path direction, depth, and alignment per engineered drawings and field instructions.
• Monitor bore progress, retrieve and reposition the missile as needed, and troubleshoot deviations from the planned bore path.
• Pull conduit, duct, innerduct, or cable through completed bore paths; verify continuity and integrity of installed conduit runs.
• Connect air compressors and hoses; operate and maintain pneumatic tools, air supply systems, and associated boring equipment in safe working condition.
• Perform hand digging, potholing, and day lighting of existing utilities in the bore path vicinity to verify clearances and prevent strikes.
• Coordinate with utility locators and observe all 811 (Call Before You Dig) markings and designated safe approach zones prior to boring.
• Read and interpret construction drawings, bore path plans, site maps, and utility locating records to ensure accurate installations.
• Operate and maintain a variety of hand tools, power tools, small excavation equipment, and material-handling equipment as directed.
• Assist with HDD (horizontal directional drilling) operations, trenching, conduit placement, and other underground construction activities as needed.
• Set up, maintain, and remove work zone traffic control devices (cones, barricades, signs) in compliance with applicable traffic control plans.
• Adhere to all OSHA, company, and project-specific safety policies; participate in daily tailgate safety meetings and JSA/JHA reviews prior to each shift.
• Complete daily field documentation including timesheets, bore logs, material usage records, and as-built markups as required by the project.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site; properly stage materials, secure equipment, and restore work areas upon project completion.
• Mentor entry-level crew members and laborers in safe boring practices, equipment handling, and site safety compliance.

• High school diploma or GED required.

• Minimum 1–3 years of hands‑on experience in underground utility construction, trenchless boring, or a related field.
• Prior experience operating or assisting with pneumatic missile boring, HDD, auger boring, or similar trenchless installation equipment preferred.
  
  Familiarity with underground conduit, duct bank, and utility infrastructure installation methods.

• Valid driver’s license required; CDL (Class A or
  
  B) preferred.
• OSHA 10 certification (Construction)…
