    My biggest advice is walk in with thick skin, good attitude, and a sense of humor. Don’t expect to get along with everyone, but at least make it tolerable. Making jokes, checking in your co workers if they need water, and staying ahead of the game goes a long way.

    I got my start in fifo 20 years ago as a drillers offsider, back then it was the easiest way to get into the industry with no experience, getting paid only for the meters we drilled, sleeping in a swag, getting yelled at by the driller, to this day I have a bad reaction if someone toots at me in traffic 😆 Went on to work in offshore drilling and now being paid for my skill level and knowledge in the industry. Like the man says if your prepared to stick it out and do the hard yards it can be rewarding.

    I was at the Granites gold mine in the NT doing this a few years back for a year or so and this video is EXACTLY what it’s like for anyone interested. Can be very rewarding but very very tough definitely not for the faint hearted. I was 35 when I was up there and got a few records but that’s why I left, I pulled 11000m of rods in 7 days and 1900m in one shift, 950m out changed the bit threw 950m in only for the driller to smoke that bit and I had to pull them again and throw them back in. I was known for doing all of the big rod pulls because the young guys couldn’t keep up but that’s what done it for me I felt I was being used in the end going from rig to rig it sucked. I started drilling towards the end but having so many deep holes I was continuously pulling rods day in day out. It’s seriously hard work pulling so many rods haha 10/10 for the video guys you told it EXACTLY how it is.

    If you work with a company that does both underground and surface. Easiest way to become a driller underground. Then go to surface. My mate had no industry experience and became an underground trainee driller after 3 months. Then running an underground rig after 8 months. Came to surface they could demote him down a level. He drilled on surface good god did he wreck shite lol.

If there's a moment in between where i can have my lunch ill take what i can get and provided you're not fussy about when you wanna eat your lunch when you do find a moment to eat you just take a quick few bites and you get on with it. If it helps, having a decent breakie prior to work can prevent you from getting real hungry. It would be real pity you would use lunch breaks as a factor in not wanting to pursue working in driller, if you value eating so much, take up being a chef.

    I am an offsider in underground gold minning in Indonesia, yes there's so many challenges as an offsider... Lot strength and hardwork to do,especially work with jumbo or maxxijet.... If there's an opportunity to work abroad in Australia I would love to do it.

I have been working physical laboring jobs ( shearing, farming and more for the passed 9 years with little to no issues with my health ?

I don't know where to apply for a company but I'll be 19 when I'm back next year. What's the likelihood of getting this type of job? I want to work a job like this because I want my abilities tested, I want to be pushed to my physical and mental limits to make myself disciplined, especially like this bloke in the video

    I know everyone says you need to be fit to be a drillers offsider but I really wonder what/how the measure is to know if you can make the grade? eg how many push ups at once or lifting ?? number of kg for how long at once? or?? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but I know everyone's idea of fit is different. I have worked kitchen which could be more physically demanding than some people realise (carrying 2x20kg bags of flour on stairs 12 hour day in a 40 degree kitchen kneeding dough etc) but I am not sure I would be the level of fitness they need given everyone talks about how hard core it is fitness wise (I certainly couldn't carry 40 kg for a 12 hour long day without breaking my back).

They stopped me doing overtime and the $27/hour was laughable for the work I was doing when overtime wasn't allowed, I left the next day. Seriously considering drillers offsider, it can't be much physically harder than that, just a worse environment.
