Timberline Drilling Inc.

I have learned a lot from the drillers, foreman's, and other assistants that I can say that I did from any of my other jobs. Not just from the knowledge of the equipment but the procedures, tactics, methods, and ethic's that I accumulated by gathering information to adjust to situational awareness on the work site while working and with other employers employees. 

You get out what you put in.  Hard work, dedication, loyalty, and technique matters.  Safety is certain.  Methods derived from experience.  There is no manual for core drilling.   Learn the rig; mechanical, hydraulic, pumps, pressure tolerance for hoses & valves, logistics, electrical, support equipment setup, forklift ops in rough terrains, trucking.  Train others that have work ethics.  Get paid to work out.  

TDI is to large for their own good, they can't keep helpers or drillers based on their low end pay, and they just hire anyone. Sure they can be busy, but the lack of equipment maintenance and the "run it til it blows attitude" is company wide. You only move up and increase in wages if your skilled on knee pads, or drinking buddies with some of the Foreman's, or related, inbred included. Not to mention, half the work force.couldnt even pass a legit UA.

Trip in trip out mix mud swing pipe and all over again I work and don't really pay attention to anything but the engines and make sure mud is turning and pipe is burning.  As long as the drill is running we are doing right if we're not feeding bits then we aren't making money or hitting hd.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Long hours, good pay and good drillers and bosses

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Road conditions while driving water truck

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome. Good equipment. Parts were there when needed

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Up at 4am 1-2 hour drive to rig. Work 12 hrs and drive back to rv

Your busy from start to finish. The safety program at TDI is 2nd to none. The management is understanding and helpful. The mines they work for must have a safety system implemented just as strict or more for them to contract with. TDI is always improving safety and efficiency. They work hard to keep us safe 

Management has no idea of the working conditions this job entails. They hire anyone including criminal pasts so safety is never important to any of these people. You make decent money only because you work so many long days in a row.  Save yourself disappointment and don't go here.

Timberline Drilling Inc. offered and falsed advertised everything good and positive about their company. Timberline Drilling Inc, is the worst company. I have ever worked for. The worst waste of time of my life. I highly warn anyone to not work at TIMBERLINE DRILLING INC!!!!!!

It’s not for everyone however, no job is for everyone in all truth. Full of mostly great people and great management. The job is definitely stressful but rewarding

Been lied about durg screen and was told I was working underground before I came for class. Would suggest that dont lie to get employees if you want to keep a good relationship with the employee.
