Field Sampling: Review field logs, samples, and data from subordinate drill personnel and communicate with management and technical staff.
Equipment Maintenance: Oversee vehicle and equipment maintenance to ensure good working conditions and determine the need for equipment.
Quality: Assure that all drilling functions, including quality control, quality assurance, and verification, are performed per the standard drilling methods, project specifications, and other contract documents.
Coordination of Others: Coordinate and oversee the daily activities on medium to large projects of assigned driller assistants and communicate field conditions and job progress to management and professional staff daily.
