TUCI has grown from one family crew in 1992 to more than 120 professionals serving Hampton Roads and Richmond. People stay because the work is steady, the equipment is modern, and leadership backs every employee with the resources to advance. If you value safety, craftsmanship, and long-term opportunity, TUCI is the place for you.
The TUCI Advantage
Stability
Year-round public-utility contracts keep field and office teams working full weeks—no seasonal layoffs or surprise slowdowns.
Clear Growth Paths
Helpers become pipe layers, pipe layers move up to operators, and seasoned operators step into foreman or estimator roles. Tuition assistance is available for CDL upgrades and industry certifications.
Safety First
Daily toolbox talks, stop-work authority for every employee, and trench-safety gear that exceeds OSHA standards protect crews and the communities we serve.
Competitive Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision plans
- 401(k) with company match
- Paid vacation
- Short & long term disability
- Profit-sharing bonuses for eligible positions
Current Opportunities
We hire for both yard locations—Suffolk and Richmond—as well as traveling crews on regional projects. Openings rotate, but positions often include:
Pipe Layers with at least three years of underground utility experience
Construction Mechanic with at least five years of light/heavy truck and heavy equipment experience
Heavy Equipment Operators with three years experience on excavators and front end loaders
Pipe Foreman with three or more years of experience in underground utilities
Lowboy Drivers (CDL-A) with clean records and two years of hauling experience
Work You Can Be Proud Of
From setting 24-inch water main beneath busy corridors to restoring fresh asphalt by nightfall, TUCI crews leave infrastructure—and neighborhoods—stronger than we found them. Join us and help build the systems that keep Virginia moving while working alongside people who treat you like a vital member of the team.
