What You'll Be Doing
 
As a Driller's Offsider, you'll be getting hands-on in one of the most physically demanding jobs out there. This isn't just a job; it's the start of a career in a fast-paced, high-reward industry. We think it's important you know what you're getting yourself in for:  
 
Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Assist the Driller: Support the driller in operating and maintaining drilling equipment, ensuring efficient and safe operations.
• Handle Heavy Equipment: Load and unload tools, rods, and core samples, often involving physically demanding tasks.
• Operate Support Equipment and Vehicles: Safely operate vehicles and equipment essential to the drilling process.
• Maintain the Site: Keep the worksite clean, organized, and compliant with safety standards.
• Produce Core Samples: Assist in retrieving, handling, and labeling core samples for analysis, ensuring they are prepared and stored correctly for geological assessments.
• Work Safely: Follow strict safety protocols and procedures to ensure the well-being of yourself and the team.

What We Can't Guarantee

• You'll enjoy the job. Let's be real, this is one of the toughest jobs around. It's dirty, in challenging areas, working away from home, physically demanding, and definitely not for everyone.
• You'll cope working away from home.
• Being away from loved ones for extended periods is not easy for most.
• It's challenging, and the conditions can be tough.

What We CAN Guarantee

• You'll know exactly what you're signing up for. We'll give you a clear picture of the role, the industry, and what to expect.
• You'll be well-informed about the clients and supported every step of the way.
• We'll always be upfront with you. Honesty and transparency are at the heart of everything we do.
• We'll make sure if this is the right move for you and your family.
• You'll be paid on time, every week.
• You will be working away from home doing rostered work, usually 2/1 rosters.

What You'll Need

• Either Permanent residency or Citizenship. Unfortunately, we cannot accept working holiday visas for this role.
• Point of hire is Perth. You must reside in Western Australia.
• A valid Manual Drivers' Licence (this is a must).
• A great work ethic and resilience. This is not your average 9-to-5. These are 12 hour days of hard yakka.
• The ability to work in remote and challenging environments. This could be intense heat and/or humidity.
• A strong level of fitness. You'll need it, and it will almost certainly be the hardest job you've done.
• A can-do attitude and a commitment to safety.
