About Us
At R Directional Drilling & Underground Technology, Inc. the journey began with the vision of founder Jose Ruiz, who was born and raised on a small farm in Mexico. From a young age, Jose learned the value of hard work and perseverance, lessons that shaped his approach to business and life. After starting his career in the horizontal directional drilling field, he took a significant step forward in 2006 by founding R Directional Drilling with the support of his brother, Fernando Ruiz.
Since its inception, the company has rapidly gained a reputation for quality and integrity within the industry. It has successfully expanded its services from horizontal directional drilling to becoming a comprehensive “turnkey” underground utility contractor, equipped to handle a wide range of projects. Jose’s humble beginnings instilled in him a deep appreciation for his team. He recognizes that the success of R Directional Drilling is not only due to his leadership but also the dedication and hard work of every employee. This commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment is at the core of the company culture, ensuring that every team member feels valued and empowered to contribute to collective success.
