Read and interpret construction prints, bore plans, utility locates, and shot sheets — and flag discrepancies in the field
Perform potholing and visual verification of underground crossings before and during the bore
Mix and manage drilling fluids — understand viscosity, flow rates, and when to adjust the mud program
Maintain bore logs, as-builts, redlines, and daily production documentation
Assist with rig setup/teardown, rod handling, tooling changes, and site restoration
Conduct or participate in pre-job safety briefings and adhere to OSHA and company safety standards

Physically able to lift 50 lbs., walk bore paths, and work outdoors in all weather

Preferred:

FTTH (Fiber to the Home) build experience
Experience boring in high-risk areas — live gas, electric, water, and sewer
Experience with hydro-vac, excavator, or other support equipment helpful
Highway traffic control knowledge or flagger certification
Knowledge of mud mixing and drilling fluid systems

Benefits

Competitive pay based on experience with annual performance reviews and merit increases
Co-pay Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement with company match
Paid time off, paid holidays, paid drive time, and paid sick leave
CDL training support
Career advancement path — we promote from within
