FORACO Australia

Join the Team

Let’s not sugar coat this. The drilling industry is hard work, but if you have the right attitude, and are up for a challenge, it can be extremely rewarding.

The hours will be long (12 hour shifts) with typical rosters of 14 days on followed by 7 days off.  It is guaranteed to be hot, and can often be cold, windy and wet depending on what time of the year it is (and we won’t mention the flies).  Night shift is also necessary on some operations, with a typical double shift roster being 7 day shifts followed by 7 night shifts then a 7 day break.

You need to enjoy being part of a team, and physically working outdoors.
You should be fit, capable of understanding and following
instructions, self motivated and keen to learn.


Above all else, you need to work safely. This means taking responsibility for your own safety, and not endangering those working around you. We do not want (and will not tolerate) people who disregard safety.

If this sounds like you, FORACO can offer:

  • Industry competitive wage structure
  • Ongoing nationally recognized training and accreditation
  • Long term contracts providing security of employment
  • Professional work environment
  • Well documented and communicated role descriptions and responsibilities
  • An open and honest communication flow
  • A bias towards promotion from within
  • Quality tier one equipment
  • Engaged, visible and accessible Management
  • Engaged functional support from HR, Maintenance, HSEC, Training and Logistics
  • Compliant, current and engaging systems
  • Compassion and flexibility when needed
  • Employee assistance program with no cost access to professional counselling services
