The Licensed Driller / Monitoring Well Installer will be responsible for operating and maintaining an air rotary drill rig for monitoring well installation, geotechnical borings, and water well work throughout Texas and Oklahoma. This position will lead a two-to-three-person drilling crew and will be expected to work independently, make field decisions, troubleshoot equipment and drilling conditions, and maintain a safe and efficient work environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Operate and maintain an air rotary drill rig for monitoring well installation, geotechnical borings, and water well work.
• Perform drilling operations at oil and gas, industrial, and municipal project sites throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
• Read subsurface formations while drilling and adjust drilling techniques based on changing field conditions.
• Troubleshoot equipment issues and drilling challenges, including lost circulation, caving formations, and stuck tools.
• Install and develop monitoring wells.
• Collect soil and groundwater samples.
• Maintain accurate field logs and chain-of-custody documentation.

• Perform routine maintenance and pre-trip inspections of drilling rigs and support equipment.
• Perform minor field repairs and address equipment issues as needed.
• Follow all company and job-site safety procedures.
• Travel to project sites throughout Texas and Oklahoma as required.

What you’ll make:

• Base Pay: $100,000/year base salary DOE, with a path to $150k+ for drillers who bring their own crew or specialty rock-coring experience.
• Per Diem: a daily per diem on any job requiring travel outside the Midland service radius, paid weekly.
• Annual Bonus: Performance and safety bonus paid out annually.

What you’ll drive home in:
