Learn more about the benefits of joining Team UES and our core values at careers.teamues.com.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a dedicated and hardworking Driller's Assistant to assist with geotechnical drilling operations, supporting soil exploration, well installations, and site investigations. This role involves operating, maintaining, and transporting drilling equipment while ensuring compliance with project specifications, safety protocols, and company procedures.

As a Driller's Assistant, you will support the drill crew chief in performing drilling services, assembling and disassembling equipment, and ensuring that testing and drilling requirements are met. Responsibilities include operating various tools and equipment, maintaining drilling rigs, assisting with site cleanup, and preparing necessary reports and documentation. The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, safety-conscious, and capable of working outdoors in varying environmental conditions.

This position requires flexibility in scheduling, with the possibility of overnight and weekend work, as well as travel to project sites—both locally and out of town, depending on business needs. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in geotechnical drilling, equipment operation, and fieldwork in a growing industry.

Responsibilities:

Collect and conduct testing of soil, concrete, and other construction materials to project specifications.
Ensure all testing equipment is properly functioning, maintained per company and manufacturer policies, and kept within its required calibration cycle.
Operate various tools and equipment, including pneumatic jackhammers for breaking concrete and water/steam pressure washers for cleaning drilling equipment, rods, augers, bits, casings, trucks, and trailers.
Perform manual labor tasks, including assembling and disassembling drilling equipment, rig setup, and site preparation.
Maintain and clean drilling rigs, trucks, and work areas to ensure equipment is in good working condition and meets safety standards.
Accurately complete daily time and labor reports in accordance with company policy and submit required paperwork on time.
Properly maintain assigned company vehicles, scheduling oil changes, checking fluid levels, and ensuring regular upkeep of both the interior and exterior.
Report to job sites on time, follow all safety protocols, and accurately enter work time and project details daily.
Strictly adhere to all company safety policies, procedures, and industry regulations, ensuring compliance with OSHA and workplace safety guidelines.
Adapt to changing schedules and work hours based on project demands, including the possibility of overnight, weekend, or extended-hour shifts as needed.
Travel as required to job sites within the designated region, which may include local, out-of-town, or extended stays for larger projects.
Perform other duties as assigned to support project goals and company initiatives.

Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record required; CDL preferred or willingness to obtain.
Basic computer proficiency, including experience with Microsoft Office Suite and Field Data Collection (FDC) software or similar industry tools.
Ability to read, write, and interpret blueprints, procedures, manuals, technical documents, and reports related to drilling, safety, and project requirements.
Effective time management, problem-solving, and attention to detail, ensuring efficient and accurate documentation of work.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively, demonstrating a strong work ethic, reliability, and commitment to safety.
Mechanical aptitude and ability to operate hand and power tools, including pneumatic jackhammers, pressure washers, and other drilling-related equipment.

Exposure to environmental elements including dirt, dust, sun, heat, humidity, and adverse weather conditions.
