What is a roustabout pusher?

Roustabout Pushers are supervisors who oversee roustabout crews on oil rigs or in oilfields. Their main responsibility is to ensure that the roustabout team safely and efficiently completes maintenance, repairs, and general labor tasks such as assembling equipment, cleaning work areas, and assisting with drilling operations. Roustabout Pushers coordinate schedules, enforce safety protocols, and serve as the main point of contact between their crew and higher management. They often have several years of experience as roustabouts themselves before being promoted to this leadership role.
