EMPLOYMENT

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FASTEST GROWING INDUSTRY IN PENNSYLVANIA?

Working in the Marcellus Shale oil industry in Pennsylvania offers very unique challenges for GAS WELL SERVICES employees. Most job site locations are rural and remote, 12 hour shifts are standard, 24/7/365 days a year we are working. The rewards are outstanding... for the right person! The scenery is spectacular, the people you meet and work with are interesting, the shifts allow for plenty of days off (while still maintaining full-time hours), the pay is good and working in the PA Gas industry offers great job security.

GAS WELL SERVICES supplies all employees with the training to do their job correctly and safely, safety vests, hard hats and uniforms. All employees are required to supply their own safety, steel-toed boots and appropriate weather gear (rain, snow, ice).

Blank applications can be acquired by either emailing our office for an editable PDF, or by stopping by our office in Jersey Shore Monday-Friday during normal business hours for a hard-copy application. We are always accepting applications.

current opportunities

GAS WELL SERVICES is always growing and hiring!

We generally hire only for full-time positions (42 hours per week). All employees must be able to work days and nights and at least one weekend day/night. We do occasionally accept applications and hire part-time employees as "floaters/fill-ins" in case of call-offs or scheduled vacations. We are always accepting applications and we do hire on a steady basis.

Work shifts are typically 3.5 days for a total of 42 hours. Part-time work is available on a limited basis. All duty stations MUST be staffed 24/7/365, rain or shine! Excessive call-offs are closely scrutinized and if patterns are noticed this can be grounds for discontinued employment with GWS. More than 3 days of call-offs within the first ninety days of hire are grounds for employment termination. Our clients rely on us to keep their well sites secure and we rely on our guards to be responsible to their shift, job and fellow guards.
