You’ll work on drill sites for mineral exploration across the USA, where your “office” could be the rugged mountains of Alaska or anywhere across the Lower 48. Wherever you may be, you’ll experience unique terrain many people never get a chance to see.

Work hard and have quality time off. The typical field‑operations schedule is 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off. Scheduled days off leave plenty of time for travel or other pursuits. You will alternate between day shift and night shift each time you get sent out on a job. Field‑operation roles require 12‑hour workdays while living in a camp environment. Hy‑Tech Drilling covers most costs associated with travel and accommodation(s).
