Position Overview
Join our team as a Driller Assistant/Logger and play a key role in supporting exciting engineering and construction projects. In this field-based position, you will perform soil logging and geotechnical observations during drilling operations, classify and document subsurface conditions, and prepare detailed and accurate boring logs. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated professional who enjoys working outdoors, collaborating with project teams, and contributing to projects that shape communities and infrastructure.

  • Collect and conduct testing of soil, concrete, and other construction materials to project specifications.
  • Perform soil logging in the field in compliance with TxDOT Geotechnical Manual, ASTM standards, and project specifications.
  • Coordinate with drill crews to ensure proper sampling intervals (e.g., TCP or SPT every 5 feet) and methods are followed.
  • Classify soils by type, density/consistency, moisture, color, and other relevant properties.
  • Document sample collection with photographs and complete associated field forms.
  • Conduct basic in-situ field tests (e.g., pocket penetrometer and torvane) as required by the project.
  • Communicate progress, findings, and issues to the project manager.
  • Ensure all testing equipment is properly functioning, maintained per company and manufacturer policies, and kept within its required calibration cycle.
  • Operate various tools and equipment, including pneumatic jackhammers for breaking concrete and water/steam pressure washers for cleaning drilling equipment, rods, augers, bits, casings, trucks, and trailers.
  • Perform manual labor tasks, including assembling and disassembling drilling equipment, rig setup, and site preparation.
  • Maintain and clean drilling rigs, trucks, and work areas to ensure equipment is in good working condition and meets safety standards.
  • Accurately complete daily time and labor reports in accordance with company policy and submit required paperwork on time.
  • Properly maintain assigned company vehicles, scheduling oil changes, checking fluid levels, and ensuring regular upkeep of both the interior and exterior.
  • Report to job sites on time, follow all safety protocols, and accurately enter work time and project details daily.
  • Strictly adhere to all company safety policies, procedures, and industry regulations, ensuring compliance with OSHA and workplace safety guidelines.
  • Adapt to changing schedules and work hours based on project demands, including the possibility of overnight, weekend, or extended-hour shifts as needed.
  • Travel as required to job sites within the designated region, which may include local, out-of-town, or extended stays for larger projects.
  • Perform other duties as assigned to support project goals and company initiatives.

Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent required.
  • 0 to 3 years of experience in Civil, Geotechnical, or Environmental Sciences Field Services preferred.
  • Prior experience working on construction sites, geotechnical drilling, or environmental field services is a plus.

  • Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record required; CDL preferred or willingness to obtain.
  • Basic computer proficiency, including experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Field Data Collection (FDC) software or similar industry tools.
  • Ability to read, write, and interpret blueprints, procedures, manuals, technical documents, and reports related to drilling, safety, and project requirements.
  • Effective time management, problem-solving, and attention to detail, ensuring efficient and accurate documentation of work.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, demonstrating a strong work ethic, reliability, and commitment to safety.

Travel may be both scheduled and on short notice, depending on project needs. Destinations typically include job sites, field locations, or regional offices, where work may be conducted in outdoor or operational environments. Adherence to all company safety protocols and use of PPE is required during travel and on-site work.
