Job description

Overview
Casing Drilling Specialist (Tie-Back, Micropile, and Casing Advancement)
At GeoStabilization International, deep foundation, small diameter drilling is mission-critical work. We operate in unstable slopes, emergency geohazard conditions, and structurally sensitive environments where installation accuracy, casing integrity, and ground control determine project success.
We are seeking casing drilling specialists who understand that this work is not about spinning steel - it is about installing structural systems correctly the first time.
Why Choose GSI
If you're already in Geohazard, environmental or a similar industry doing the things we do, you probably have options.
Why come to work with us?
At GSI, you're not just working -you're building people, solving complex problems, and taking pride in work that keeps communities safe. Here, you'll get:
  • Great teams filled with hardworking people from every walk of life, that are learning to do things the same way: quality, safety and team focused.
  • Clear, supported advancement to more senior roles - either into crew leadership (lead hand, superintendent) or into more senior technical roles in drilling or shotcrete sculpting.
  • A deep backlog of important work - you stay busy helping communities year round.
  • Company ownership-yes, you become an owner here.
  • Commitment to doing things the right way and putting the best tools in your hands.

Responsibilities
What You'll Lead
As an experienced driller, you'll work on projects across the U.S. leading crews and teams in the application of drilling techniques.
Your core responsibilities include:
  • Applying your skills across a variety of geohazard mitigation systems and projects
  • Executing safety plans-protecting the people around you is priority #1
  • Coaching and developing teammates to be more effective and grow their skills.
  • Helping with equipment maintenance and jobsite organization
  • Communicating clearly with clients and internal teams

Growth Path
This is not a static trade role. High performers can drill for us as long as they want, but they can also advance into:
  • Sr. Drillers
  • Working Foreman
  • Superintendent
  • Field Operations Leadership

We invest in professionals who pursue mastery, elevate team standards, and demonstrate the discipline to lead.
If you take pride in precision, understand structural responsibility, and want to operate at a higher performance standard, this is where you scale your impact.
Qualifications
Core Technical Requirements - Casing Focused
  • Minimum 3+ years of deep casing drilling experience in geotechnical or ground support applications
  • Demonstrated experience with:
    • Concentric casing systems (e.g., Symmetrix, ODEX, Elemex, or equivalent)
    • Duplex head drilling systems
    • Dual Rotary drilling systems
    • Percussion drill systems
    • Temporary and permanent casing installation
    • Tie-back and micropile casing systems
  • Proven ability to advance casing through:
    • Collapsing overburden
    • Mixed face conditions
    • Variable rock-to-soil transitions
    • High groundwater environments
    • Flowing sands
  • Experience maintaining verticality, alignment, and embedment tolerances within engineered specifications
  • Strong understanding of casing sequencing, grout control, and structural load transfer principles

What Separates Good from Elite Casing Drill Operators at GSI
Competent operators:
  • Can run casing systems with supervision
  • Meet installation requirements
  • Follow instructions

Elite operators:
  • Anticipate subsurface challenges before they escalate
  • Protect casing integrity and minimize rework
  • Improve production efficiency without sacrificing precision
  • Mentor junior crew members on proper casing technique
  • Take ownership of the structural outcome - not just the drill

Work & Travel Expectations
  • Outdoor work in climates ranging from mountains to deserts
  • Typical construction-site hazards and noise levels
  • Regular lifting of 75 lbs+
  • Extensive travel-up to 100% across the U.S.

Compensation & Benefits
This is an hourly leadership role with significant earning potential:
  • $27-$35 per hour based on experience level most relevant to our projects. If you don't have them all, we'll train you and push you up the pay range as you learn.
  • Annual performance bonus
  • Equity ownership program - every employee is an owner!
  • 100% paid travel (flights, hotels, food, and other travel)
  • Medical, dental, vision (HSA/FSA)
  • Accident, life, disability insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Generous paid time off policy
