Driller

The owner still runs rigs himself and knows exactly what the job takes. These are direct hire, long term seats with a company that treats its field crews as the core of the operation, not an afterthought.What You Will Do• Operate hollow stem auger, direct push and Geoprobe rigs on environmental and geotechnical sites across New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.• Install, develop and abandon monitoring wells to NJDEP standards.• Collect soil, rock and groundwater samples; log SPT blow counts and record and report daily drilling data.• Run a safe site: daily rig inspections, utility clearance, traffic control, PPE, and a clean work area.• Maintain the rig, tooling and support truck in good working condition and report needed repairs early.• Lead and train a driller helper, and run the job with minimal supervision.• Coordinate with project managers, geologists and clients to keep jobs on schedule.What We Are Looking For• Current New Jersey well driller license issued by NJDEP.
