Horizontal Directional Driller (HDD) - Experimental Field Testing
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on Horizontal Directional Driller (HDD) to join our team at our testing facility in Lockhart, Texas.
This is not a standard utility drilling job.
You will work directly with our engineering team to test and develop new horizontal drilling technologies, equipment, drilling methods, tooling, and experimental systems.
The work is highly hands-on and takes place primarily outdoors. Some days will involve operating drilling equipment, while others may involve modifying equipment, preparing experiments, troubleshooting problems, collecting data, or helping engineers understand what is happening downhole.
This position is currently offered one month at a time, with the possibility of continued work based on our testing schedule and performance.
What You'll Do
Operate and assist with horizontal directional drilling equipment
Support drilling experiments and field testing
Help set up, operate, and break down drilling equipment
Work directly with engineers during testing
Provide practical feedback based on real-world drilling experience
