RC & DIAMOND DRILLING FIELD SUPERVISORS

RC & DIAMOND DRILLING SUPERVISORS
$175–$185K + Super
2:2 Roster | Immediate Start | Permanent Full-Time

If you've spent years doing the job properly and you're ready to lead a crew the right way, this is the role.

We are seeking RC and Diamond drilling supervisors who have earned the respect of their crew on the tools, know what good looks like, and are ready to own a site – the safety, the production, the culture, all of it.

Core Drilling Services runs continuous year-round contracts across Tier 1 mine sites and exploration projects throughout Western Australia. The work is consistent, the rigs are maintained, and the ops team in Perth actually supports what happens in the field.

What the Role Looks Like

Reporting to Perth HQ, you'll be running shift operations across either RC or Diamond drilling programs. You'll manage the crew, lead toolbox meetings, coordinate day-to-day drilling activity, and be the main point of contact between the site and Perth support staff.

You'll be hands-on, setting the standard for how the work gets done – safely, efficiently, and without cutting corners.

A 2:2 roster means genuine time at home. We've found supervisors who are well-rested and not burning out make better decisions on site. That matters to us.

The Package

• $175,000 – $185,000 (plus Super) based on experience

• 2:2 roster – proper time off between swings

• Permanent full-time – not contract, not casual

• Salary sacrifice options available

• Immediate start available for the right person

• Referral bonus – know another good operator? We'll look after you both

What we need from you

We're looking for operators who take ownership of their rig and their site. You'll need:

• Minimum 5 years' drilling experience

• Cert IV in Drilling Operations

• Schedule 26 Supervisor certification

• Valid HR Driver's Licence

• Current First Aid, 4WD and Working at Heights certs

• National Police Clearance (within 6 months)

• Ability to pass pre-employment medical and D&A screen

What sets the right candidates apart

Beyond the tickets, we're looking for someone who leads from the front and takes the crew with them. You'll have:

• Proven ability to run a safe, productive site without being babysat from Perth

• The communication skills to manage up to the client and down to the offsider equally well

• A mechanical understanding of the rigs you're running

• The instinct to develop junior crew rather than just direct them

• A track record that shows people want to work with you

Why supervisors stay with us

Because the support from Perth is real.
Because the rigs are maintained and the crew is backed.
Because this company is growing, and the people who help build it are remembered.
Because good leaders here get the autonomy to actually lead.
