Sample Catchers Needed / Good for Geology Students - (Vernal, Utah Area)

We are seeking short term (4-7 days on average) help with sample collection during the 2025 Summer.

This position would be a good fit for local geology students on break or a rig/service hand looking to pocket some extra cash.

Your Role:

To supplement our on-site geology staff, you will aid them in collecting samples of cuttings returning to the surface. This is messy work, exposed to the elements, performed on a drilling rig. It is also KEY to the detailed lab work we preform. It's not hard, just messy, with quite a bit of walking back and forth.

We will teach the right candidate how to prepare for, collect, and label wet lithology samples in a water based drilling fluid.

You will be responsible for 12 hours of coverage. 6am/6pm or 6pm/6am for example.

You may collect samples all 12 hours, or you may spend a full shift talking with us in the lab.

Our schedule is dictated by rig operations and varies greatly from day to day.

This experience will yield a greater understanding of how geological data is collected at the ground level and distributed through an organization.

Project Locations:

Primarily Utah, occasionally Southern Wyoming.

How We Operate:

Our wellsite geology staff are all consulting sub-contractors. You bring your PPE and knowledge, we provide the rest.

Safety, Integrity, and Professionalism are paramount, even in this limited role.

You will be operating as an independent contractor or consultant. An LLC or other legal entity is HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.

We pay upon completion of your duties, by direct deposit ACH.

Pay is 375 per day during drilling operations and 250 per day when we are placed on standby for coring. (If you live locally you can go home during standby and be paid to sleep in your own bed. Typically 48-72 hours)

This is 1099 compensated work, not W2 work. You will be responsible for withholding your own taxes.

On-site housing and lab space is provided.

Transportation to the rigs site is not provided.

This position is only open to U.S. Citizens or U.S. Residents with legal Work Authorization.

Pre-employment drug screening, employment history verification and background checks will be preformed.
