Job Description

This Company is seeking an experienced Water Well Driller who will be responsible for delivering drilling projects ranging from 2” nd up to 16” wells, plastic & steel, in glacial drift or bedrock. As a drilling expert you will supervise all other personnel on site and communication with property owner, driller’s helper and office staff to ensure timely and professional completion of drilling projects.

The work is loud and dirty and so you must be physically fit to use the large equipment. You must also have good customer service skills to interact with customers.
