  • Coordinate with project managers, field supervisors, geologists, engineers, and other project personnel.
  • Follow all company, client, OSHA, and DOT safety requirements.
  • Exercise stop-work authority when unsafe conditions are identified.
  • Travel to project locations and work extended hours when project schedules require it.
Required Qualifications

  • Ability to read site plans, follow drilling instructions, and maintain accurate field documentation.
  • Strong safety awareness and sound decision-making skills.
  • Ability to work outdoors in varying weather and site conditions.
  • Ability to lift and handle drilling tools, materials, and equipment safely.
  • Ability to pass required pre-employment screenings.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with environmental, geotechnical, or remediation drilling.
  • Experience installing monitoring wells and collecting soil or groundwater samples.
  • Air brake and tanker endorsements.

What We Offer
  • Competitive compensation based on experience.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.
  • 401(k) retirement plan.
  • Company-provided safety equipment and training.
  • Opportunities for travel, overtime, and professional growth.
