Job Description

We are seeking a reliable and responsible self-starter to join our Geotechnical team in Lynchburg as a Drill Rig Operator Assistant. This position requires a valid Virginia Driver's License, and the ideal candidate must be willing to travel regionally, sometimes staying overnight. We work in urban and remote areas, and sometimes the work locations have difficult access. The ideal candidate will be ready to work hard, have a desire to excel, and enjoy working outdoors, sometimes in remote locations with minimal supervision. Preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate previous drilling experience, but we will provide training for the right candidate.

Essential Functions:

  • Assist drill rig operator/clearing teams with performing drilling and clearing services by operating equipment to clear access to boring locations and to bore exploratory vertical holes into the earth to evaluate soil types and strength characteristics.
  • Assist with detailed and legible field notes.
  • Wear necessary safety equipment at all times.
  • Responsible for the inventory of equipment and supplies each day.
  • Assist with laying out boring locations with compass and measuring tape.
  • May assist with operating miscellaneous drilling equipment including rods, augers, etc.

Competencies:

  • Communication proficiency.
  • Teamwork orientation.
  • Problem solving/analysis.
  • Demonstrate professional judgment, consistency, and attention to detail.

Required Education and Experience:

High School Diploma with 1 to 2 years’ experience is preferred but we will train. A commercial driver’s license with endorsements is preferred, or the ability to obtain one upon hire.

Work Environment and Physical Demands:

This job operates in an outdoor environment, as well as sometimes within an office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photocopiers, printers, plotters. Additionally, this role will require fieldwork involving lifting equipment, standing, bending, stooping, or climbing over terrain; collecting and processing soil, hazardous waste or water samples. The employee could potentially be exposed to soil, water, or hazardous wastes, and the work may require outdoor activities in various weather conditions. This role also involves work with a drill rig, and the work sites may have a higher-than-average noise level due to equipment operation.

We value diversity and are committed to hiring the best applicants for our engineering practice, and therefore we encourage minorities, women, and other underserved groups to apply. Compensation includes paid leave, health insurance with a health savings account (HSA), 401k with a company match, free group life insurance, an incentive program and much more. Hurt & Proffitt is 100% employee-owned, allowing us to focus on our customers and staff rather than shareholders. We are committed to our clients, and committed to performing meaningful work that impacts our communities. If you feel you meet these requirements, please submit your cover letter, completed application, and resume here.
