Job description

Our Trade:

Republic Drill Co. LLC supports vital industries with the necessary equipment for clean water, infrastructure development, and renewable energy.

Mentorship Culture:

While other companies may cling to methods passed down by previous generations, relying on the 'pay your dues' philosophy, we've built a mentorship culture to accelerate your success. We understand that by supporting you to achieve your potential, we collectively ensure a thriving future for our industry.

Autonomy in Decision Making:

While support is always available, you won't have someone constantly looking over your shoulder. Here, you'll have the freedom to lead your space and earn the respect of those who trust your judgment.

Innovation:

We don't let good ideas linger. We welcome your input, seek out purposeful challenges, and take calculated risks to continually move ourselves and our customers toward greater productivity and quality.

Your Mission With Us:

Keep our customers drilling. Optimize equipment performance to advance the success and well-being of our growing customer base and their drilling fleets.

What You’ll Get To Do:

• Be the Hero for customers facing equipment-related disruptions, delivering timely solutions that enable uninterrupted productivity
• Maximize equipment performance, reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance
• Prolong the life of machinery and reduce replacement costs
• Minimize the risk of equipment failures, accidents, and safety hazards

The Value You Provide:

• Experience in industrial or heavy equipment maintenance
• Proficient in troubleshooting and diagnosing mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic systems
• Knowledge of how to safely operate cranes, power tools, hoists, and hand tools
• You have large quality collection of tools for performing repairs
• You think for yourself. We like that! You use your judgment, knowledge, and experience to solve everyday problems and make decisions. You’re capable enough not to need permission or direction at every fork in the road, but you’re also willing to consult with others when their informed input is needed.
• You enjoy working outdoors and getting to travel for work (1-3 nights a week on some months and local / shop work on others)
• You’ve earned a high school diploma or GED and
• Have a current valid driver’s license

Even Better (but not required) If:

• You have Advanced technical or college training

The Value We Provide You:

• The opportunity to connect and explore with abundant travel opportunities that open doors to meaningful connections and new places
• While life on the road can feel isolating, you're never alone. You’ll be invited to participate in mentorships, live meetings, and trade shows that not only keep you connected but also provide valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth.
• Very limited weekend work, rarely and only when absolutely necessary
• Full-time steady employment, not seasonal. We don’t lay off simply because things temporarily slow down.
• A great-condition non-CDL service truck provided
• Safety equipment and manufacturer-specialty tools provided
• Continuing education in an environment that embraces the challenges that make work more exciting and that help you grow
• A people-first workplace that honors balance and productivity. We strive to limit the stress and drama of within our industry. We’re not aiming to run an emergency room, more like a proactive outpatient care center.
• A company that prioritizes you and gives back. We reinvest in our employees, adding benefits whenever possible. Plus, we're committed to making a positive impact on the community through charitable contributions.
• 7 paid holidays and 15 paid PTO days
• Medical, dental, and vision with 62% medical premium covered for employees
• 401K with 4% match on a 5% employee contribution

We believe that having a mix of backgrounds and perspectives is key to sparking fresh ideas, challenging the status quo, and fueling innovation and growth. We're an equal-opportunity employer, committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. We make employment decisions based solely on qualifications and merit regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, gender, or any other protected status.
