well driller
Groundwater extraction professional
A well driller is a person or company that bores holes into the ground to access water, oil, or other underground resources.
The term most often refers to water well drilling—sinking shafts through soil and rock to reach aquifers: We hired a well driller when the property had no municipal water.
Well drillers operate specialized rigs and must understand local geology to find productive depths.
