About the Opportunity

Rototec is seeking a mechanically inclined construction professional to join our growing U.S. operations as an Assistant Construction Project Manager – Field Operations.

This position offers a competitive salary, hands-on training, and the opportunity to build a career in the growing geothermal construction industry.

The ideal candidate enjoys a combination of fieldwork and construction project coordination, including working with construction crews, organizing equipment and materials, communicating with customers and contractors, and helping manage projects from planning through completion.

We are looking for someone with practical construction or mechanical experience, strong organizational skills, and the initiative to take on increasing responsibility.

Previous geothermal experience is not required. We provide training in geothermal drilling, specialized equipment, and Rototec’s construction methods.

About Us

Rototec is an established geothermal drilling company with a long history of success in Europe. We are now bringing our technology, experience, and innovative drilling methods to the United States as we expand throughout the Northeast.

Our company combines technological innovation with a straightforward set of values: honesty, integrity, hard work, and doing the job right.

What You'll Do

As an Assistant Construction Project Manager – Field Operations, you will work closely with our management team, field crews, customers, engineers, contractors, and other project partners to help take geothermal drilling projects from planning through completion.

· Support construction project coordination and day-to-day field operations on geothermal drilling projects, including site preparation, drilling operations, materials, equipment, and field crews

· Review project plans, specifications, schedules, and scope of work

· Assist with construction scheduling and planning upcoming work to ensure crews, equipment, and materials are ready when needed

· Monitor project progress, schedules, costs, and quality

What We're Looking For

We're interested in someone who has gained real-world construction or mechanical experience and is ready for the next step in their career.

The right candidate will likely have:

· Approximately 2–5 years of experience in construction, mechanical contracting, drilling, excavation, utilities, heavy equipment, field service, project coordination, or a related environment

The position may require:

· Walking and standing for extended periods on active jobsites

· Climbing, bending, kneeling, and navigating uneven terrain

· Working around drilling rigs, heavy equipment, vehicles, and moving mechanical equipment

If you have construction or mechanical experience and are looking for an opportunity to move further into project management, we encourage you to apply—even if you have never worked in geothermal.
