RedBull Powder Company manufactures a range of explosives products and provides comprehensive drilling and blasting services to quarries, mines and construction projects in New Zealand.

We are recruiting for an experienced Driller to operate Top Hammer Drill Rigs. RedBull service customers quarry and construction sites throughout the North Island so there is a requirement for occasional overnight trips away.

You will be required to;

Efficiently and productively operate the drill rig to produce quality blastholes
Comply with Safe Standard Operating Procedures and instructions
Communicate with Drill Supervisor to understand daily work instructions
Care and maintain the drill rig and equipment

You will need to have;

3 years (preferably) drill operation experience
Class 4 or 5 driver licence (would be an advantage)
Excellent communication skills, including verbal and written
Work safely and in line with Standard Operating Procedures and instructions
Strong personal presentation, history of punctuality and high work attendance record
Be fit and healthy with the ability to complete manual handling tasks
Self-disciplined with enthusiasm to work, a positive attitude and a team player with the ability to work alone

A company vehicle will be provided for business travel. Experience operating a transporter with class 5 licence to move the drill rig between sites would be an advantage but is not essential.

Our drill workshop is located in Pokeno but daily jobs are spread between customer quarry and construction sites across the North Island. Ideally the successful applicant would be based in the Waikato Region.

This position will report to the Drill Supervisor. You must be able to work effectively alone and within teams, contributing positively to RedBull’s strong values and culture.

If you can meet the above requirements and are looking for a rewarding career in a rapidly growing company then we would like to meet you!!
