Know a young professional who deserves recognition? Help us get them the praise they’ve earned. Nominate them for our Emerging Drillers series.

Emerging Drillers are models of success in trades like drilling. The next generation needs to see themselves operating heavy equipment, or in in the important scientific and engineering work those operators execute or make possible. They need to see the connection between groundwater and, often, the water from their taps. They need to know drilling can provide the geothermal heating and cooling that helps solve green energy. The next generation needs to know that drilling delivers the raw materials for everything from mobile phones to EV batteries — and they can be a part of it all. You can help.

Fill out the form below to nominate someone (or yourself), and we do the rest: a video interview and a write up in one of our two annual print editions, distributed at Groundwater Week and the South Atlantic Jubilee. Help us share success stories. The Emerging Driller you nominate may just inspire others to follow.
