What This Job Is

• Provides guidance and mentorship to less experienced crew members.
• Assists the Rig Supervisor coordinating daily job tasks and keeping the job moving.
• Can run all Rig Hand 1 and Rig Hand 2 work independently with minimal supervision.
• Assists with training, equipment inspections and safety compliance.
