We want someone who is certified, physically ready for field work, and serious about building a career behind the controls.

    • Assist with rig setup, rod handling, tooling changes, and equipment breakdown
    • Monitor drill console readings and report any irregularities to the lead operator
    • Work in sync with the locating crew during all bore operations
    • Perform basic daily maintenance and pre-shift equipment inspections
    • Keep the work area clean, organized, and hazard-free throughout the shift

    What You Need

    • All required certifications must be completed and valid before your first shift — this is a firm condition of hire
    • Basic knowledge of Ditch Witch HDD equipment is an asset
    • Mechanically inclined with a willingness to learn from experienced operators
    • Strong work ethic and the ability to perform physically demanding outdoor work
    • Valid driver's licence

    GCS Group Benefits

    • High-volume project work — we keep our operators busy
    • Entry-level pay with real advancement potential
    • Benefits package

    • Whmis 2015
    • Clean abstract and valid drivers license

    The best drillers in the trade all started somewhere. GCS Group is a strong place to begin. Apply today and get your career off the ground.
