microtunnellingA unique opportunity to grow

Edge Underground also offers a number of opportunities for its employees to grow, while still allowing them to do the job they love.

It offers a number of unique business models depending on your goals and financial situation. If after spending some time with the company, you want the greater opportunities that are offered by running your own microtunnelling company, but aren’t prepared, can’t afford, or are hesitant to take the risk, Edge Underground has partnership models allowing you to grow without the risk or economic outlay.

Each model offers a different level of support, from the base model where the onus of the partner agreement is more heavily on Edge Underground than you, up to the highest model where you are running autonomously by yourself.

When you run an Edge Underground job site, you’re not just paid a wage, you earn a percentage of the profit generated from the job. Not only does this benefit you, it also helps the company run its job sites efficiently because everyone has an interest in the job being completed to the highest standard and in the best possible time frame.
