Content Specialist

About Legacy Utility Group

Legacy Utility Group is a family of specialized infrastructure service companies, including Nor-Cal Pipeline Services, ECS, JVAC, and Guardian Traffic Solutions. We serve municipalities, contractors, and private clients with critical underground utility, excavation, and traffic control services across multiple states.

We’re also an employee-owned company (ESOP), which means our people don’t just work here, they have a stake in what we’re building. That ownership mindset shows up in the quality of our work, how we support each other, and how we serve our customers.

At Legacy Utility Group, we lead with Integrity, we Think Big about safety, growth, and innovation, and we win through Teamwork. Our work happens in the field: solving complex challenges, protecting communities, and delivering essential infrastructure. But like most companies in our industry, we haven’t always told that story well.

That’s where you come in.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Content Specialist to join our Marketing team and act as an internal storyteller across all Legacy brands.

This role is best described as a “field-to-brand translator.” You will work closely with operations teams, subject matter experts (SMEs), and leadership to capture real work happening in the field and turn it into clear, engaging content that builds trust, authority, and brand recognition.

While this role collaborates heavily with field and operations teams, it sits within the Marketing department and follows the CMO’s content strategy. This is a hands-on execution role with the opportunity to shape and influence content strategy over time.

This is not an influencer role; you are not expected to be the face of the brand. Instead, you will spotlight our crews, elevate our experts, and bring our work to life through content. You will have a front-row seat to real-world infrastructure work and the opportunity to shape how an entire industry tells its story.
