Drilling Assistant – Geotechnical & Environmental

Real work. Practical skills. A crew that counts on you.

3D Drilling Inc. is hiring a Drilling Assistant to work alongside our Drillers on geotechnical and environmental projects.

You’ll work with drilling equipment, tools, and soil and rock samples while learning how the job gets done from the ground up. Your work matters: a dependable assistant helps keep the entire crew protected, organized, and moving.

Previous drilling experience is an asset, but we’re willing to train someone who shows up on time, takes direction, and puts in consistent effort.

What We Offer

- Base wage plus an on-site drilling bonus.
- Paid travel time from the yard to the job site.
- Benefits available after three months of employment.
- Hands-on training and the opportunity to develop practical drilling skills.

What the Job Is Really Like

This is physically demanding outdoor work. Expect early starts, frequent travel, mud, noise, heavy lifting, and working through heat, cold, rain, and snow.

Shifts can run 8–12 hours, and finishing times can vary with the project. You’ll need to stay engaged throughout the day.

If you enjoy working with your hands, learning equipment, and seeing the results of a hard day’s work, this could be a good fit.

What You’ll Do

- Load, unload, carry, and organize drill rods, augers, tools, and supplies.
- Help set up, move, and pack up drilling equipment.
- Assist the Driller during drilling operations and sample collection.




- Mix drilling fluids and grout; assist with monitoring wells and sealing boreholes.
- Clean equipment, handle drilling waste, and keep the site organized.
- Assist with basic maintenance and daily inspections.
- Drive support vehicles and tow trailers when appropriately licensed and qualified.
- Follow safety procedures and take direction from the Driller or Site Supervisor.

What We Need From You

- Driver’s license: A valid Ontario G driver’s license, a clean driving abstract, and eligibility for coverage under the company’s vehicle insurance policy.
- Reliable transportation: Be able to get to the shop on time for early morning departures.
- Reliability: Arrive ready to work and put in consistent effort. The crew depends on you.
- Physical readiness: Be able to repeatedly lift and carry 50–75 lb and work on your feet throughout the shift.
- A willingness to learn: Listen, ask questions, apply feedback, and stay involved.
- A safety-focused approach: Follow procedures and speak up when you’re unsure.
- Comfort with outdoor work and travel: Be prepared for changing sites, weather, and daily schedules.

Experience and Qualifications That Help

- A valid DZ or AZ driver’s license.
- Experience in construction, landscaping, farming, mechanical work, or other physically demanding outdoor roles.
- Previous drilling experience.
- Mechanical aptitude and confidence using basic tools.
- WHMIS, Working at Heights, or First Aid/CPR training.
