- Coordinate closely with locator crews, laborers, supervisors, and installation teams to maintain project timelines.
- Conduct pre-trip inspections, equipment checks, and preventative maintenance on drilling rigs, tooling, mud systems, and support equipment.
- Identify and troubleshoot operational or mechanical issues in the field.
- Ensure compliance with OSHA regulations, company safety procedures, and client standards.
- Maintain clean, organized, and professional job sites.

- Experience operating drilling rigs ranging from 20,000–100,000 lb machines.
- Active CDL with a clean driving record.
- Strong understanding of underground utility installation practices and utility locating procedures.
- Ability to read blueprints, site plans, and bore path designs.
- Strong knowledge of OSHA standards and safe excavation/drilling practices.
- Mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot drilling equipment and fluid systems.
- Ability to work outdoors in varying weather and physically demanding job site conditions.
- Willingness to work overtime, weekends, and travel locally as project demands require.
