ABOUT RG TENNEY ELECTRIC
RG Tenney Electric, Inc. (RGTE) is a specialty electrical and underground infrastructure contractor based in Loganville, GA. Our Utility/HDD division performs horizontal directional drilling and underground utility installation for commercial, industrial, and federal airport clients across the Southeast. We're based out of metro Atlanta, with select projects requiring travel to airport and federal job sites.
THE ROLE
The Directional Drill Foreman is a working crew leader responsible for running an HDD crew day to day — planning bore paths, operating or directing the drill rig, and making sure the crew works safely, efficiently, and to spec. You'll manage the people, the equipment, and the schedule, and you're the one Ryan and the project manager count on to anticipate problems before they become delays.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
● Plan and direct horizontal directional drilling bores — review utility locates, plan bore path, and sequence the work before the rig starts moving
● Lead and supervise an HDD crew, assigning tasks and keeping the job moving efficiently
● Operate or directly oversee the drill rig, locating equipment, and support machinery
● Enforce safety protocols on every job site — utility locates, trench safety, traffic control, and equipment operation
● Read site plans and utility drawings, and identify conflicts or issues before they cause a problem in the ground
● Coordinate daily with the project manager on schedule, materials, and any field issues
● Train and develop crew members, including new hands learning the trade
● Complete daily job documentation, time sheets, and as-built records accurately
REQUIREMENTS
REQUIRED Proven experience in horizontal directional drilling — running bores, not just being on a crew
REQUIRED Demonstrated experience leading and directing a crew
REQUIRED Strong communication skills — you'll be giving direction to your crew and coordinating with the PM
REQUIRED Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
REQUIRED Strong, consistent commitment to safety and the ability to enforce it on site
REQUIRED Willing to travel for airport and federal project work
PREFERRED Class A CDL
PREFERRED Experience reading utility and site drawings
PREFERRED Experience on airport or federal underground utility projects
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Base wage $32.00–$45.00+ per hour, based on experience.
Per diem $25 per day on out-of-town airport and federal job sites.
Prevailing wage Davis-Bacon / prevailing wage rates paid on qualifying federal job sites, often above standard scale.
Travel Full travel coverage — mileage/travel pay plus hotel, both covered by RGTE. No out-of-pocket travel costs.
