How do they match: Earth Drillers, Except Oil and Gas

  • Design well pumping systems.
  • Disinfect, reconstruct, and redevelop contaminated wells and water pumping systems, and clean and disinfect new wells in preparation for use.
  • Document geological formations encountered during work.
  • Drive trucks, tractors, or truck-mounted drills to and from work sites.
  • Perform pumping tests to assess well performance.
  • Perform routine maintenance and upgrade work on machines and equipment, such as replacing parts, building up drill bits, and lubricating machinery.
  • Place and install screens, casings, pumps, and other well fixtures to develop wells.
  • Pour water into wells, or pump water or slush into wells to cool drill bits and to remove drillings.
  • Regulate air pressure, rotary speed, and downward pressure, according to the type of rock or concrete being drilled.

  • Measure work site dimensions.
  • Operate pumps or compressors.
  • Remove debris or vegetation from work sites.
  • Review blueprints or specifications to determine work requirements.
