What’s the Gig?

Alright, legends, we’re digging for gold (well, talent) — whether you’re looking to enter the drilling game, wanting a change of scenery, better sites or wanting to move your way up the drilling ranks, we’ve got the perfect gig for you! We’re talking $42.50 to $45 an hour dependent on experience.

At Itch Recruitment, we’re connected to the biggest drillers in the industry, giving you the freedom to choose your next adventure. In your interview, we’ll break down all the options, lay out the benefits, and let you decide which one drills down to the best fit for your career.

Why You’ll Want to Jump On This Drill Rig:

• Earn $42.50–$45 per hour, depending on experience. Earn upwards of $7,100 per swing (yep, that’s a truckload of cash!).
• 2:1 roster — work hard, then enjoy your time off.
• Industry-leading career progression — we’ll help you mine your full potential, including earning new qualifications.
• No more roughing it in swags — you’ll be bunking in style with hot meals cooked for you daily.
• Work for companies that actually value their crew — you won’t be left in the dust here.

What You’ll Need:

• Hold permanent working rights in Australia - temporary visa holders will not be considered at this time.
• For entry level - You will need to have 6-12 months recent hard labour experience to be considered. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about drilling but you have to be physically fit and ready to take on the work.
• No experience as a Driller's Offsider? You’ll need a HR-B drivers licence
• Got experience as a Driller's Offsider? You'll need a C-Class Manual drivers licence
• Willingness to get First Aid certified — safety is the name of the game.
• Got a Working at Heights or 4WD ticket? That’s a cherry on top!
• Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug & alcohol screening
• Hold a recent clean National Police Clearance (or willing to get one)
• Based in WA — this is FIFO from Perth Airport only. Interstate applicants will not be considered at this time.

If you’ve got the guts to join the ranks and carve out a serious career, let’s drill down to business. This isn’t just another job — it’s a core sample of your future success.
