Small Diameter Drilling Superintendent

Miami, FL | Onsite + Local Travel (Open to relo candidates)

We are looking for a seasoned Drilling Superintendent to lead field operations in micropile, earth retention, ground improvement, and deep foundation projects. This is a hands-on leadership role overseeing multiple crews, equipment scheduling, safety, and project delivery in complex environments.

What You’ll Do

  • Supervise multiple drilling crews, ensuring safety, efficiency, and quality on site.
  • Plan and coordinate daily operations including labor, equipment, and materials.
  • Work directly with project managers, engineers, and clients to ensure schedules and budgets are met.
  • Mentor and develop field leaders and crew members, building a strong safety-first culture.
  • Troubleshoot technical challenges in the field and adapt to changing ground conditions.

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years in micropiles, anchored earth retention, drilled shafts, jet grouting, or similar specialty geotechnical drilling.
  • Proven leadership experience running multiple rigs and crews.
  • Deep knowledge of drilling equipment, tooling, and ground conditions.
  • Strong track record of delivering safe, efficient, high-quality projects.
  • Ability to coordinate manpower and equipment across multiple active jobs.

What We’re Not Looking For

  • Pure oil & gas drilling backgrounds without exposure to micropiles or geotechnical foundations.
  • Candidates whose experience is limited to large-diameter shaft drilling only.
  • Short-term consultants who lack direct field management experience.

Ideal Fit

This role is best suited for someone who has grown up in geotechnical/foundation drilling, worked their way from the field into leadership, and thrives on managing people, schedules, and equipment in a fast-moving environment.

Competitive compensation and strong growth opportunities are offered for the right candidate.
