Overview
GeoConstructors, Inc., is one of the leading Specialty Contractors on the east coast that designs and installs impact piers, grouted impact piers, full displacement columns, support of excavation, and other ground improvement solutions. Our projects involve challenging soil conditions requiring settlement control installations prior to heavy civil construction in NC, VA, MD, DC, PA, WV, SC, NJ, and NY. We are seeking an experienced Drill Operator to help us install our solutions throughout our region.
Like to be on the road, experiencing new places? Our crews travel within the northeast region. You travel in your own car to our job sites, staying in a single hotel room, two weeks at a time, with a weekend at home every other weekend, (arriving home Friday for dinner and returning Sunday night or Monday morning for a 6:30 a.m. start). For some, this is exciting and a great way to earn and save money. For others, obligations at home prevent this kind of travel. We prefer to hire within our project area along the East Coast.
