What drilling roles do we recruit?
Drilling remains one of the most demanding disciplines in energy, and crews are only as strong as their weakest hand. We recruit across the full rig structure: OIMs and toolpushers, drillers and assistant drillers, derrickhands, roughnecks and roustabouts, alongside the drilling engineers, supervisors and superintendents who plan and oversee each well.
