Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures who nurture, guide, and inspire us. Today, we celebrate you like the superstars you are! #MothersDay

On April 17, 1984, President Ronald Reagan established Military Spouse Appreciation Day with Proclamation 5184, recognizing the countless sacrifices and contributions made by military spouses since the days of the Continental Army and Navy. Military Spouse Appreciation Day is a day set aside for us to pause to recognize the military spouses around us who have the greatest impact on our lives and our military communities. On behalf of the USIC team, THANK YOU to all the military spouses past, present, and future who continue to support our nation's service members. #milspouseappreciation

Congratulations to Technician Mandy Eberl on being named Locator of the Year by the National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) of Washington! Thank you, Mandy, for your dedication to partnering with the excavation community to ensure safe digging. You make us all proud!

Today kicks off Construction Safety Week. The construction industry’s safety culture and performance is strengthened by the resolve of every person who walks onto a job site to be fully focused – mind and body – on safety. At USIC, we are committed to ensuring job site safety for the more than 84 million utility locates we perform each year.

May is Clean Air Month, and at USIC, we are proud to do our part. We perform 42% more locates per tank of fuel than a utility performing its own locates, which equates to fewer trucks dispatched to each dig site, less fuel consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Our unparalleled efficiencies are a breath of fresh air.

Today is National Skilled Trades Day, a great day for raising awareness of the underground utility locating profession. Our skilled locate technicians perform the essential work of protecting critical infrastructure and their communities. If you are searching for a career in a growing industry, check out our open positions nationwide at workatusic.com. We provide fully paid training, and no prior experience is required!
