A rig manager in the drilling industry is often referred to as a drilling supervisor or drilling operations manager. They oversee daily drilling activities, coordinate with crew members, and ensure safety and efficiency on the rig. The role requires technical knowledge, leadership skills, and often certifications such as Well Control or HSE training.
