Driller

Requisition Number: 2025-2190-05

Are you dependable, hardworking, and ready to take on the challenges of the great outdoors? S&ME is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Driller to become part of our Field Exploration team in Cincinnati, Ohio. Join S&ME today and help us provide engineering solutions to our clients!

What You Will Do:

As a Driller, you will be at the forefront of geotechnical projects, taking on a role that is both physically demanding and highly impactful. This isn't just a desk job, it's a hands-on, outdoor role where you'll be coordinating drilling operations with minimal supervision from the operations manager or senior driller. You'll lead a team of driller assistants and drillers, determining the best techniques and equipment to get the job done efficiently and safely.

Drilling Operations: Take charge of drilling operations for your assigned projects, guiding and overseeing lower-level drillers to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Field Sampling: Dive into the field, reviewing logs, samples, and data collected by your team. You'll be the bridge between the field crew and management, ensuring clear communication and accurate data reporting.
Equipment Maintenance: Keep your equipment in top shape. You'll oversee vehicle and equipment maintenance, ensuring everything is in good working condition and ready for action.
Quality Assurance: Uphold the highest standards of quality. You'll ensure all drilling functions, including quality control and verification, are performed according to standard methods, project specifications, and contract documents.
Team Coordination: Lead and coordinate the daily activities of your driller assistants on medium to large projects. You'll communicate field conditions and job progress to management and professional staff daily.

This position requires being open to working outdoors year-round, and the desire and ability to travel with paid hotels and per diem.

Who You Are:

You have a high school diploma or GED
You have a minimum of 5 years of drilling experience
You have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
You have a Driller license
You have effective communication skills (speaking, reading, and writing) using the English language
You have knowledge and the ability to perform routine vehicle and equipment maintenance
You have working knowledge of multiple drilling methods, which include hollow stem auger, mud rotary, and rock coring techniques

Working Conditions and Physical Demands:

You are willing and able to perform the physical demands of this position with the use of Company-provided Personal Protective Equipment, such as:

Working outdoors the majority of the time in varying weather conditions and standing for potentially 8-12 hours a day
Routinely lifting and carrying 40- 50 lbs (field/laboratory samples and equipment)
Maneuvering field equipment safely, such as a loaded wheelbarrow, on uneven ground around active construction sites
Travel out-of-town for assignments and work outside of normal business hours when necessary
