We're not a training ground. We're a workplace where experienced people come to do serious work — and stay. Low crew turnover, structured progression, FIFO programs, and a MD who knows your name.
We'd rather you know what you're getting into before you apply. This is what working at GeoDrill actually looks like.
You're not a number. The MD is on every program. Your supervisor knows your name and your history. Decisions get made by people who've drilled themselves — not by a board that's never been on a rig.
Structured rosters, not ad-hoc callouts. We run programs with BHP, Austral and Stanmore — Tier 1 sites with proper inductions, safety systems and accommodation. Remote work that's actually organised.
DA to driller to supervisor to DIC. We invest in tickets and external certification — not as a recruitment pitch, but because the alternative is a crew that can't do the job. Your progression is tracked and supported.
ISO 45001:2018 certified. Hands-free rod handling on every surface rig — not an optional upgrade. Pre-shift briefings on every shift. This isn't performance for clients. It's how we operate.
12 active rigs — Hydrapower HP850s, Schramm T685WS, Sandvik DE840, Boart Longyear KWL 1600H. 170+ pieces of company-owned equipment. Maintained in-house by people who take ownership of the gear they run.
Low crew turnover isn't accidental. We invest in the people who show up and do the work. Training, ticket support, fair rosters and a culture where people are treated as professionals — not bodies to fill a seat.
GeoDrill is where careers are built — not just started. The MD himself came up through the ranks. Progression is structured, supported and real.
On-site learning from experienced drillers. Hands-on with real rigs on real programs. Certificate III in Drilling Operations supported by the company.
Operating your own rig. Method-specific certifications. Mentorship from senior drillers with deep experience across RC, Diamond, coal and geotech.
Leading a crew. Advanced Diploma in Drilling Management. Responsibility for program delivery, safety compliance and crew wellbeing on-site.
Full program accountability. Multi-rig coordination. The people running operations at GeoDrill today started where you're starting. That's not marketing — it's the actual org chart.
GeoDrill runs active programs year-round. Even when we don't have a specific vacancy listed, we want to hear from experienced people. Strong candidates go straight to the top of the list when programs ramp up.
RC, Diamond or combination programs. You've got your tickets, you know your gear, and you don't need to be babysat on-site. We match crew to programs by method experience — not just availability.
