Leading the Industry
Our business strategy is simple. Be the best place to work in the industry.
We are ruthless in our pursuit for top talent, holding each other accountable and delivering the absolute best services in the energy sector. To do this, we focus on a lot of the basics like safety, benefits, pay, and a fun culture.
Improving the Community
We also believe strongly in improving our community.
The vast majority of our business takes place in rural parts of America. Therefore, we are committed to the improvement of the communities we work in, in particular public education. We have already created one award winning school and plan on many more across the US.
We are dedicated to improving the lives of our teams, partners and community.
