You provide expertise and guidance to our customers on site to ensure successful drilling.

Other parts of your job:

Review and understand client provided drawings for the layout of the HDD crossing.
Layout grid wire in appropriate dimensions and shape based on the geometry of the crossing.
Survey in the grid wire along with topography and any utilities the drill will be crossing, utilizing CAD based software, generate a drawing that coincides with the client provided drawing.
Work with the driller to drill the designed path staying in given tolerances.
Upon completion of the drill, submit final paperwork to the office and the client, work with the drill crew to extract the tooling, clean and pack it up and send it back to Inrock’s shop.
