Company Man Job

Company man nature of work

A company man is representative of the oil company or operator on a drilling location. For land operations, the company man is responsible for operational issues on the location, including the safety and efficiency of the project. Even administrative managers are expected to respond to the direction of the company man when they are on the rigsite. Offshore, depending on the regulatory requirements, there may be an offshore installation manager, who supervises the company man on safety and vessel integrity issues, but not on operational issues.

Company men are employed by oil & gas drilling and well service contractors and by petroleum producing companies.

Company man work conditions

Company men usually work long hard days on extended roster systems and either outdoors in all weather conditions or underground. Company man work is generally hard and physically demanding.
There is little mobility for supervisors from well services to well drilling.
