Driving activities include operating a water truck or transporting tools and equipment.

If you’re a safe, hard-working and reliable Groundman who is also a CDL driver that likes variety in their work, we want to talk to you. Please note you are an active crew member on a drilling crew, not solely a transport driver.

You will operate in environments with uneven terrain, heavy equipment, and ongoing construction activity. The position requires physical stamina, awareness of surroundings, and the ability to follow safety procedures at all times. Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn as required. You should be comfortable performing physically demanding tasks, adapting to changing site conditions, and communicating clearly with crew members and supervisors. Flexibility and a strong commitment to safety are essential.
