Beaver Drilling

loved working 4 beaver just no busy enough! when u cook u learn lots from other people and u also share lots of ur ideas co workers were all great people 2 work with. the hardest part of job was the long rig moves and the hours it takes! meeting people and the traveling 2 different locations was the best part of the job.

Short change work 8hrs day shift off for 4hrs than 8hrs night shift that was the worst of it but still wasn't that bad

I had worked at Beaver Drilling for 10 years prior from 1997-2007.  Returned to Beaver in 2013 as a driller for the first 4 years and loader operator since.  Always enjoyed the work, the people and equipment.  Have know all of the management for many years and do not have a bad word to say about any of them.  Top shelf operation.  A pleasure.

making conections on the drill floor, tripping out pipe, scrubbing all out buildinds, running loader,mixing drillling fluid on mud tanks,safty drills,rig moves. good bunch of guys to work with.hardest part of the job lots of heavy lifting everyday.

I enjoyed my time here and actually made some really good friends. They kept me reasonably busy and I was usually working close to home. i left because my boss unfairly promoted a guy i trained.

My first experience on a rig was not very favourable. There were no documented safety practices. They seem to hire a lot of inexperienced people who then leave to work for other companies.

daily meetings were you have to bring up safety concerns, but they don't actually care about them. If something is brought up too often they will ask you to stop because it makes them look bad. 

this company is good to work for cause it was nice to be known by name and not a number.
the people I have worked with through out the years made the experience better.

one of the best drilling contractors in the business very good place to work got my start with these guys our toolpush was the best  always help promote fom the ranks.

Just need Canada's energy business to expand beyond its one customer the USA.  Pipelines, LNG, and new customers (Asian, Europe) should be considered in the near future.
