Work With K-Drill:
A Crew That Backs You
At K-Drill, the strength of our rigs comes from the strength of our people. We’re a WA-owned, founder-led contractor with a field-first culture, where decisions are made close to the rigs — not in boardrooms.
We back our crews with structured training, mentoring and long-term career pathways. Whether you start as an offsider or join us with years of drilling experience, we’ll invest in your growth. Our teams work across RC, diamond and underground projects statewide, giving you exposure to exploration and production programs in some of WA’s toughest ground conditions.
Safety is non-negotiable. With zero LTIFR and systems like SiteDocs and MaintainX, we make sure crews are supported by clear processes and proactive reporting. That means you go home safe, every day.
