Looking for a career that's hands-on, challenging and takes you places?

Legion Drilling is looking for an Entry-Level Driller's Offsider to join our growing team.

You don't need previous drilling experience. We're looking for someone who is hands-on, mechanically minded, reliable and willing to learn.

This is an opportunity to get your foot in the door of the drilling industry and work your way towards becoming a qualified Driller.

About Legion Drilling

Legion Drilling is a specialist Environmental, Geotechnical and Sonic drilling contractor operating across Australia.
