Dont know about the company. But have been with veriozon before. They usually put the contractor out for a couple years. Then pull it back in house when they have alot of hiring to do. They use the locator job as a entry to screen for line workers.

When I worked the contract they also screened tickets. So the verizon would keep the clears.

Could this be them.

Golden Staate Utility Co.

It says they specialize in utility locating.

I just checked out their site a little more. Someone should tell them about www.locatorjobs.com because if you look at their career opportunities they sure are hiring just about everywhere.
