Driller’s Helper Training

OVERVIEW

A rigorous multi-day course providing a mix of classroom and hands-on learning to prepare you for the field.

Hy-Tech Drilling is committed to providing new field employees a comprehensive introduction to their role at Hy-Tech. The Driller’s Helper Training Programs were created to introduce the Driller’s Helper roles, responsibilities and tasks to new recruits who have no previous experience in the Diamond Drilling industry.

  •  Courses are on demand and are offered at both the Smithers, BC and Saskatoon, SK locations.
  • Applications are welcomed throughout the year.
  • The class size is restricted to only 6 participants per session in order to give students the advantage of plenty of one-on-one training opportunities.

Hy-Tech's Driller's Helper course was very well organized and taught by great guys who really know the business. We worked hard, and learned a lot about the mechanics & operation of drills & pumps, core handling, helicopter safety and the safe operation of power tools, track vehicles, ATV's & skidders. The course gave me an excellent hands on idea of what the job is all about. I now work as a driller's helper and love the challenge, the adventure, and the good people I work with.
