Quality Drills is looking for mechanically inclined people who want to work hard, travel the country, make good money, and build a specialized skill set. Our crews travel across the United States working directly with farmers to rebuild, repair, and service large agricultural seeding equipment. One week you might be working on a farm in Texas, the next you're headed to Montana, Colorado, or somewhere you've never been before. We pay for the travel. You bring the work ethic. You'll work alongside a small crew, learn equipment most mechanics never get the opportunity to work on, and see firsthand what your work means to the farmers depending on that equipment. You do not need to come from an agricultural background. If you're mechanically inclined, comfortable with tools, willing to learn, and aren't afraid to work, we can teach you the equipment.

THE SCHEDULE
—
READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING
We want applicants to know exactly what they're signing up for. This is not a Monday-Friday, 8-5 shop job. Our normal rotation is approximately 14 days traveling / 4 days off. During our busiest seasons, tours can occasionally extend to 28+ consecutive days depending on workload, weather, customer needs, and travel schedules. Tour-extension bonuses may apply. This is also a high-hour position. During peak season, 90-100+ hour weeks can occur, including paid travel time. Winter hours are generally lower because much of our work is performed outdoors and daylight is limited, although some customers have shops available. You'll work weekends, spend nights in hotels, travel long distances, and work outside in heat, cold, wind, dust, and mud. If you want a predictable 40-hour week and to be home every night, this probably isn't the job for you. If you want the opportunity to work hard for part of the month, earn significant overtime, travel, and build a career without sitting behind a desk , keep reading.
WHO DOES WELL HERE?
You may be a great fit if you're the person who: Likes taking things apart and figuring out how they work Is comfortable using hand and power tools Would rather be moving than sitting at a desk Takes pride in doing a job correctly Can handle long days without needing someone to constantly supervise you Works well as part of a small crew Can adapt when plans change Doesn't mind getting dirty Wants to learn a specialized trade Understands that farmers are depending on us to get their equipment running Experience as a diesel mechanic, heavy equipment mechanic, oil field technician, agricultural mechanic, equipment technician, construction mechanic, farmhand, welder/fabricator, or similar hands-on role is a major plus. No agricultural experience? That's okay. If you have strong mechanical aptitude, know your way around tools, and are willing to learn, we're interested in talking to you.

ABOUT QUALITY DRILLS
Quality Drills is a growing agricultural equipment service company specializing in no-till seeding equipment. Our crews travel directly to farmers instead of requiring farmers to haul massive equipment hundreds of miles to a dealership. We assemble, repair, and rebuild equipment where our customers need us. That means our technicians don't spend every day staring at the same four shop walls. You get to travel. You get to work with your hands. You get to become very good at a specialized trade. And you get to know that the work you're doing directly supports the people producing America's food. If that sounds like the kind of career you're looking for, apply today.
