As a Drilling Operator, you will be responsible for:
- Operating drilling and tubular‑handling equipment on the rig floor—including elevators, slips, spiders, mechanical tools, and hydraulic/pneumatic devices used during pipe handling and well construction.
- Assisting with running and pulling tubulars (casing, drill pipe, and tubing), supporting safe alignment, stabbing, latching, and connection integrity during drilling operations.
- Inspecting tools and equipment before, during, and after drilling activities to ensure operational readiness and identify potential failures or hazards.
- Communicating effectively with the driller, rig floor operators, and supervisors to coordinate safe movement of tubulars, tools, and equipment.
- Following all drilling and client safety requirements, attending rig safety meetings, and maintaining constant awareness of hazards on the rig floor.
- Supporting general rig‑floor duties such as assisting with rig‑up/rig‑down, basic equipment troubleshooting, and completing operational documentation.
To be successful in this role you will:
- Have general knowledge of the oil and gas industry, preferably with direct exposure to drilling or tubular‑handling operations.
- Have strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to safely operate and understand mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic tools used on drilling rigs.
- Have the ability to work well and communicate effectively with drilling crews, supervisors, and subcontracted personnel in high‑pressure environments.
- Have a two‑year technical degree (preferred) or equivalent technical training combined with field experience.
- Have previous industry experience and product‑line exposure (drilling, TRS, rig operations), with the ability to follow procedures and maintain safety compliance.
- Have the willingness to work variable schedules— ncluding offshore, shift‑based, or on‑call assignments and adapt to changing operational demands
