Drilling supervisors are generally employed in the mining, quarrying or extraction industries. Unlike a drilling machine operator who, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov), is responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of drilling machines, a drilling supervisor oversees the work and ensures that it is completed in a timely manner. In August 2011, job postings on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com for drilling supervisor positions stated that duties may include examining drilling sites, working cooperatively with management to develop operational plans and ensuring that drilling operators and other personnel follow safety standards.
Other duties of a drilling supervisor may include traveling to oil or precious mineral sites to coordinate and prioritize activities, submitting ideas to management about how to improve performance and working with engineering staff to help develop well designs. The job duties of a drilling supervisor are rigorous and demanding and it may take years to develop core skills in drilling supervision and operations. As a result, employers search for candidates who have excellent leadership and communication skills as well as an ability to solve problems and think analytically.
It is not uncommon for drilling supervisors to travel extensively or work overseas. For example, many oil-based drilling supervisor positions are based in the Middle East or are located offshore.
