Regional Drilling Lead
Dandelion Energy · Maryland · Posted 132 days ago
📌 About the Role
We’re looking for a Regional Drilling Lead to serve as a leader, point of escalation, and operational partner to drillers in the field. This role is ideal for an experienced driller who wants to take on more responsibility while staying close to field operations. You’ll provide technical guidance, ensure safety and quality standards are met, and support productivity and problem-solving across multiple rigs within your assigned region.
This is a hands-on leadership role—part coach, part operational troubleshooter. You’ll play a key role in scaling geothermal operations, developing the next generation of drillers, and helping decarbonize home heating and cooling—one borehole at a time.
🛠️ Responsibilities
- Mentor, coach, and train junior drillers and helpers across multiple job sites
- Lead by example in safety, quality, and operational excellence
- Troubleshoot issues on rigs and coordinate timely resolutions with HQ teams
- Monitor job site performance and productivity; drive continuous improvement
- Coordinate with field ops, site supervisors, and logistics to support project timelines
- Support implementation of new technology, equipment, and drilling methods
- Ensure accurate and timely documentation of site activity, NPT (non-productive time), grouting, and borehole logs
- Ensure full compliance with state/local well construction regulations and permitting requirements
- Assist in onboarding and developing drillers across your region
🎯 You Will Thrive in This Role If You:
- Love being in the field and building up others
- Are a strong communicator who can lead crews with empathy and clarity
- Thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments with evolving playbooks
- Care deeply about safety, process, and doing things the right way
- Are comfortable managing up, across, and down to help unlock team success
