CDL-A Driver

Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled-starting from (below) the ground up. As the nation's leading residential geothermal company, we design, install, and maintain all-in-one heating and cooling systems that are cleaner, quieter, and up to 4x more efficient than traditional HVAC, with a focus on large, scaled deployments to large homebuilders. We're an ambitious (and growing) team on a mission to revolutionize home heating.

Backed by Google Ventures (GV) and other top tech investors, our end-to-end geothermal solution is breaking the status quo of residential heating and cooling technology, and we're scaling rapidly to meet demand. Whether we're serving national homebuilders or individual homeowners, our mission is the same: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S.

Get behind the wheel and build something bigger.

Dandelion Energy is looking for a CDL‑A Driver to join our Geothermal Drilling Team-but this is more than a driving job. If you're looking for steady hours, reliable pay, and the chance to grow into a skilled trade, this role offers all of that while making a real impact in renewable energy.

You'll spend most of your time driving Class‑A vehicles to and from residential drilling sites-but you'll also handle light warehouse and inventory tasks and support our field teams on-site. No long-haul trucking. No weeks away from home. Just consistent work, local routes, and a path to grow with a mission-driven company. This role reports into the Director of Drilling for Colorado.

Responsibilities

• Drive Class‑A vehicles transporting drilling equipment, materials, and supplies to job sites
• Assist with loading/unloading tools and supplies and keeping inventory organized at our yard
• Support drilling operations: help with pipe handling, mixing mud/grout, and basic rig tasks
• Perform basic warehouse duties (receiving, inventory counts, staging equipment)
• Keep trucks and equipment clean, safe, and organized
• Follow all company safety and quality protocols

Must‑haves

• Valid CDL‑A license and clean driving record
• Comfort with occasional hands‑on, physical work outdoors in all seasons
• Ability to lift 50 lbs safely and repeatedly
• Team‑oriented, reliable, and eager to learn new skills
• Interest in growing into the drilling or construction trade

Bonus points if you have:

• Rigging, warehouse, and/or welding experience
• Mechanical exposure and/or experience

Compensation

The expected base pay for this non-exempt role in Colorado is $25-40/hour. Actual compensation may vary based on experience, qualifications, and other job-related factors permitted by law. This position also has an equity component as part of the overall compensation package.
