Driller Offsider careers
A Driller Offsider in Australia plays a crucial role in the mining and drilling industry, primarily assisting drillers in the operation and maintenance of drilling equipment on site. Their duties include preparing drilling sites, handling equipment, maintaining safety protocols, and ensuring efficient drilling operations.
They may also be involved in transporting materials and supporting various drilling activities, such as exploration and geotechnical drilling. This position often requires working in remote locations under FIFO (fly-in-fly-out) arrangements, and opportunities for career progression into drilling roles are common.
