What is remote drilling?

A Remote Drilling job involves overseeing and controlling drilling operations from an offsite location using advanced technology and real-time data monitoring. Operators use specialized software and communication systems to guide the drilling process, ensuring efficiency and safety without being physically present at the drill site. This role is common in the oil and gas industry, where remote monitoring helps optimize well performance, minimize risks, and reduce operational costs.

What does a remote drilling professional do?

A typical workday for a Remote Drilling professional involves monitoring and optimizing drilling operations from a centralized control center, often in an office environment away from the rig site. You'll collaborate closely with on-site drilling teams, engineers, and geologists through video calls, data sharing platforms, and real-time communication tools. Your responsibilities may include interpreting live drilling data, troubleshooting operational issues, and making critical recommendations to ensure safety and efficiency. This role requires adaptability and quick decision-making, as you must respond promptly to changes and provide expert support to the field crew.

What skills and qualifications are needed for remote drilling?

To thrive in Remote Drilling, you need expertise in drilling operations, geomechanics, and well control, supported by a degree in engineering or a related field and experience in the oil and gas industry. Proficiency with remote monitoring software, real-time drilling data platforms, and certifications like IWCF or IADC Well Control are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and clear communication are essential soft skills. These skills and qualifications are crucial for making informed decisions, ensuring safety, and maintaining efficient drilling operations from off-site locations.

Full-time

Re-posted yesterday

Job description

(This is an example job description written by Geo Resource Ltd; an official job description will be used by our client later in the process.)
About the Opportunity
Geo Resource Ltd is working with a lean, high-output exploration team entering an active period of targeting and drilling decisions. They're hiring a hands-on GIS + 3D Modelling Geologist to own day-to-day modelling and visual outputs used for internal technical decisions and external stakeholder updates.
This role suits someone who's comfortable operating at junior-company pace: responsive, practical, and able to turn messy data into clean, decision-ready maps, sections and 3D views.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Maintain and update GIS datasets and deliver clean map outputs
  • Build and update 3D geological models to support targeting and interpretation
  • Produce plans, sections/long sections, and 3D views to a high visual standard
  • Support drill targeting and drillhole planning workflows
  • Keep data organised and outputs consistent (templates, QA/QC, reproducible files)
  • Work closely with a small technical team and move quickly as priorities shift
What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years in exploration geology / geological modelling / GIS / resource support
  • Strong GIS capability (ArcGIS and/or QGIS)
  • Strong 3D modelling capability (Micromine / Leapfrog / similar)
  • Evidence of high-quality visuals (clear sections, maps, 3D outputs)
  • Comfortable working remotely with a lean team and fast turnarounds
  • Strong English; Spanish/Portuguese a plus depending on team interfaces
Why This Is a Good Role
  • High impact: your work directly influences targets and drill decisions
  • Remote-first setup
  • Lean team, lots of ownership, minimal bureaucracy
  • Competitive compensation aligned with capability and output quality

If you're interested, please apply below.
Due to application volume, we may not respond to every applicant. If your background aligns closely with the key requirements (exploration GIS + 3D modelling outputs, targeting support, strong visuals), we'll reach out for a confidential discussion.
