📌 ABOUT THE JOB

As a Driller Helper at Dandelion Energy, you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on training in different parts of our geothermal field operations. Based in Maryland — with work concentrated between Baltimore and Washington, DC — you'll support drilling vertical geothermal boreholes for both single-family new construction and multifamily residential projects across the state. Depending on project needs, you may be focused on supporting drilling rigs, mixing grout and filling bores with grout, and/or supporting trenching operations.

🛠️ RESPONSIBILITIES

- Work outdoors in all weather conditions as part of an active field crew.

- Assist with loading/unloading drilling and trenching equipment and materials.

- Mix drilling mud and grout, and fill bores with grout.

- Dig trenches and support trenching operations, which may include installing HDPE piping and restoring landscapes to rough grade.

- Drive company vehicles to and from job sites (requires valid driver’s license and safe driving record).

- Maintain safe, clean, and orderly work areas on job sites and drilling platforms.

- Perform basic equipment checks and routine maintenance.

- Learn to operate heavy equipment (excavators, forklifts, grout pumps) as you grow in the role.

- Perform additional duties as assigned.

🎯 YOU WILL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU:

- Are excited to gain exposure and training across different field tasks (drilling, trenching, or grouting).

- Have a strong work ethic, adaptability, and eagerness to learn new skills.

- Take pride in contributing to a safe, productive, and high-quality job site.

- Are comfortable with physical labor and working outdoors year-round.

- Value being part of a collaborative, mission-driven team building a sustainable future.

✅ MUST-HAVES

- Valid driver’s license with a safe driving record that meets company insurance requirements; CDL is a plus.

- Personal vehicle and ability/willingness to drive to job sites within approximately 75 miles.

- Ability to lift 50 lbs overhead and perform sustained physical labor in all weather conditions.

- Positive attitude and readiness to learn new technical skills.

🌟 BONUS POINTS FOR:

- Prior experience in drilling, trenching, or construction.

- Mechanical, rigging, or welding experience.

- Familiarity with operating heavy equipment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
