25 days ago

Summary of Position: The Derrickhand position is deemed to be a “Safety Sensitive” position due to the proximity of heavy industrial machinery. A Derrickhand handles the uppermost section of the drilling string as it is brought from or lowered into the wellbore or drill hole. A Derrickhand oversees some of the machinery on the rig and is responsible for the conditioning of the drilling fluid and the circulation machinery.

The Derrickhand spends 25% of their time up the rig derrick and plays the lead role in stacking and guiding pipe as it is tripped in and out or reconnected into the hole. A Derrickhand works with the mud systems, monitors weight and mixes weight properly while reporting any changes. The position requires mixing chemicals, monitoring pump manifolds and most importantly, good communication with the Driller and the Engineer.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Assist Driller with equipment maintenance specifically related to the circulating system.
Assist with pipe guiding while positioned in the derrick and climb the derrick.
Observe and maintain proper drilling fluid characteristics, rate of fluid circulation, mud handling equipment and preventative maintenance programs.
Work on or above the drilling floor, and guide drilling pipe during the tripping process.
Ensure usage of proper safety equipment.
Ability to follow directions, comply with company guidelines and work in a safe manner.

Job Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

Ability to work safely and plan ahead.
Strong Leadership skill.
Ability to work in a team setting.
Strong communication and organization skills.
Strong Mechanical aptitude and Manual dexterity.
Ability to judge distance and spatial relationships.

Certifications and Licenses:

Must be at least 18 years of age.
Valid H2S Alive Certification.
Valid Common Safety Orientation Certification
Standard First Aid Level C CPR
Loader Operator certification
Confined Space Entry and Rescue
Fall Protection and Fall Rescue for rig work

Why Horizon Drilling?

Immediate Family Health & Dental benefits.
Up to 5% RRSP matching contributions.
60-day free coverall program.
Competitive wages.

Safety and Physical Demands:

Working on a drilling rig comes with many physical demands and a commitment to a safe work environment. A rig worker is exposed to all weather conditions, long hours and rigorous physically demands. Horizon Drilling is committed to ensure rig workers meet these physical demands by having each employee successfully complete a substance screening and strength and mobility test prior to them being hired. Rig workers should be able to successfully lift 50 lbs., work 12 hours shift in extreme weather conditions and are able to work in a team environment. Horizon Drilling is dedicated to a continuous improvement of safety.

Horizon Drilling is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We are pleased to consider all qualified applicants for employment.
