Driller Assistants help the Driller obtain core samples, which our clients use for environmental applications and or to design foundations for new buildings, refineries, roads, dams, etc.
On a typical day, the Driller Assistant will work closely with the Driller and the client. The Driller Assistant prepares sampling devices, gives samples to the client, gets augers and other drill tooling for the driller (this involves heavy lifting), and keeps the work area clean by shovelling dirt away from the borehole.
The work is outdoors year-round, in all weather, physically demanding and requires frequent travel. We’re VERY serious about safety, so don’t consider applying if you are the type of person who cuts corners or can’t follow safe work practices.
ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
We’re a growing company with opportunity for advancement. Successful Driller Assistants may have the chance to become Drillers based on performance.
