Location: Mt Holly, NJ | Schedule: Full-time, Monday through Friday, first shift with overtime available, on-site/field-based

Overview

A well established environmental services company in South Jersey is hiring two Licensed Well Drillers to join its drilling division, the busiest part of the business. The company has more drilling booked than it has drillers, including a four plus month project already on the calendar and a brand new auger rig on the yard. These are direct hire, long term seats with a company that treats its field crews as the core of the operation.

What you'll 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

Required qualifications

• Current New Jersey well driller license issued by NJDEP (Journeyman, Master and Monitoring Well classes all considered)
• Two or more years operating environmental or geotechnical drill rigs, with hollow stem auger and direct push as the core experience
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Able to work outdoors in all weather and terrain, and pass a pre employment drug screen and background check
• Reliable, safety minded, and comfortable being the lead on a two person crew
• Assistant drillers who hold a New Jersey license and can run a rig with light supervision will also be considered

Preferred qualifications

• Mud rotary, rock coring, ATV and track mounted rig experience are a plus
• CDL Class A strongly preferred
• OSHA 40 hour HAZWOPER preferred
• Delaware well driller license is a plus and earns a pay premium

Compensation and benefits

• Hourly pay that flexes with license and experience, plus overtime; senior drillers have cleared six figures with overtime
• Health insurance and a 401k plan
• A pay premium for a Delaware well driller license
• New equipment, a well run yard, and a full schedule of work
• Steady, year round employment with more work booked than the crew can cover
• Home most nights, with occasional overnight travel only when a job calls for it

Why this role

This is a direct hire, long term position with steady year round work, new equipment, and a company that keeps its field crews at the center of the business.
