Job description

SouthDrill is growing, and we need an offsider to join our Central Otago crew. Whether you've already done time on a rig or you think a drill bit is something from the hardware store, if you've got the right attitude, we want to hear from you.

Never worked on a rig?

Good news: we don't care. We'd rather have someone keen and reliable than someone who's seen it all and does nothing. If you like being outdoors, don't mind getting your hands dirty, and can turn up on time with a smile (or at least a coffee), we'll teach you the rest.

Already know your way around a rig?

Even better. We'll pay you for what you bring, and we'll help you move to one of the best spots in the country to do it.

What's in it for you?

• Rates based on experience
• Relocation assistance for experienced offsiders
• A small, tight-knit crew who actually like each other
• Different jobs, different places, never boring

Who are we?

SouthDrill are Certified Drillers with the New Zealand Drillers Federation and are trusted by ECan, Environment Southland and ORC. We drill irrigation, commercial, domestic and rural water bores, plus construction piling and geotechnical work all over the South Island.

What do you need?

• Full Class 1 licence (minimum)
• Reliability (turning up matters more than you'd think)
• A good attitude and a good sense of humour
• No fear of hard work, mud or the odd early start
• Drilling experience is a bonus, but definitely not essential

Why Central Otago?

Because your commute could come with a mountain view. Finish work and you're minutes from lakes, rivers, bike trails, hunting, fishing and skiing. Summers are hot, winters are crisp, and weekends are properly good. Plus, it's a top place to raise a family.

Whether you're looking for your first career, a fresh start, or a job where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
