About the company:
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.
Dandelion Energy is seeking a licensed and experienced Geothermal Driller to join our growing field operations team. Based in Maryland or Virginia, this full-time role involves drilling vertical geothermal boreholes for both production single-family new construction and multifamily residential projects across the greater Washington, DC region. This is an opportunity to be part of the team scaling the clean energy transition from the ground up.
The ideal candidate holds an active Maryland Master Well Driller or Master Well System Driller license and brings a strong commitment to safety, quality, and efficient field execution. This position reports to our VP of Drilling.

Since spinning out of Google X in 2017, Dandelion Energy has been transforming home heating and cooling through cutting-edge geothermal technology. We design and install the most efficient residential heat pump in the U.S., serving both individual homeowners and some of the nation’s largest homebuilders.
Our team has elevated the profile of geothermal heat pumps nationally, delivered thousands of high-quality installations across the country, and successfully championed electrification-friendly policy at local and federal levels.
