North Carolina 811 (NC 811) is the “Call Before You Dig” Notification Center in North Carolina.
What does that mean? It means that we are responsible for taking information from both professional and non-professional people who are digging in the ground. That information is then sent to the utilities to help them protect what they have in the ground (your electric, internet, gas, etc.) and protect the people digging from damage or harm.
We are looking for people interested in serving the public to apply for this important position as a Customer Service Representative.
Coming to work at NC 811 means you are part of a team of people dedicated to saving lives and protecting property. The job can be repetitive but if you are a person who wants to provide public service while enjoying great benefits and the ability to work from home, we are interested in hearing from you.
Because of the special nature of what we do, we ask that all interested applicants complete the online (free) Pipes Plus training. The training teaches you all about who we are, the public we serve and how the whole process works to protect the public. Upon completion you will have a certificate which is your “golden ticket” to receive an interview. Want to serve? Your journey starts here with Pipes Plus Training! ncpipesplus.org.
