Boart Longyear Employer Reviews

Enjoyed my time at BL; due to restructuring my job was eliminated.

Working for boart longyear is something else. There is no conformity throughout the company. Every contract is different. That is the worst part. Boart doesn't protect it workers either.

The job itself is pretty simple, you pretty much know what your walking into usually, if you have a good cross shift and he sets you up good the shift will fly, if your cross shift hates his job and doesnt care, well your in for a good night! sometime it gets long doing the same thing everday but when the day over your happy you had a good productive – more... day, no one got hurt and you get to go home to you family, thats a good day! – less

Good company ONLY if you are a driller or a helper. Otherwise you should pass. No job security at all. Laid off 2500 people in the last year and kept some that made no sense at all. Do a web search and see for yourself.

co-workers are nice people but zone and SLC senior and regional management has no respect for employees or department managers or – more... supervisors. dont bother tring to take a day off because they will call you on weekend and vacation and expect you to answer

Other zones may be better but eastern canada is not well run or a good place to work. clearly the reason i left – less

Good employer. Good pay, good benefits.

Enjoyed working here, away from family too long.

GREAT COMPANY TO WORK FOR. GOOD ENVIRONMENT. VERY GOOD MANAGMENT

drill rig assembly
I have learned to work on new equipment and to gain experience in new fields.
management was good to stuff needs.
co workers were great to work with very social.
nothing really hard it was reasonable tasks.
to complete new drill rig and to see the product wrapped leaving to the costumer.

As I have payed some attention over the years since I worked there it appears they follow a hire then fire cycle. When sales are up they hire a lot of employees, when sales drop for whatever reason they fire a lot of employees. It seems like the company creates a high turnover rate. Other than that, the company was fun to work for while doing my internship.

Hello this is the best company and Salt Lake City UTAH is make good pay good benefice

different travel to job sites every day
fun job and friendly environment

A normal day of work is a hard day of work to supervise rigs, making sure they are up and running safely.
I learned that going from rig to rig you can find the drillers and off-siders become complacent being at the same machine all the time and when they go off on break they come back refreshed. When you go from machine to machine you learn of all the – more... hazards and unsafe things that may take place.
Managers find the more they work with you the more they find confidence in you seeing what you have managed and done for them. I have found them to be fair and helpful when extended help is needed.
I have found co-workers to be hard working and fun. Duties carried out with the co-workers have been easy as they have a team bond.
The hardest part of the job is when you have a breakdown and the spares are not available.
Most enjoyable part of the job is being there to see the different parts of work taking place, drilling formations, rig movements, drill pad setups. – less

Current driller at boart Longyear, 14 on 7 off. Not much of a life and the upper management is nothing but a joke, was promised increase in wages and never got em!! Was never appreciated by shifters or big boss, if u wanna work for these guys u better be prepared to work like a slave and still get no recognition cause in the end yer just another number – more... in their eyes!! – less

Responding to the emails, requests for cost updates, and other issues, running different reports for the inventory and cost variance accounts,analysing and communicating with the persons in charge to fix the problems.

I learned the Oracle software, the Answer reporting system and first of all the company's culture.

The management team was very close – more... and continuesly in contact with us for every issue to find the right way or solution.

With co- workers it was a good working and social relationship.

The hardest part of the job it was the physical inventory in the warehouses.

The most enjoyable part of the job was inventing new ways to capture the cost for non standard jobs or repars in the field. – less

Work/Life balance is very good, i can say 100 percent. Work is equal to the salary and good health care , like free medicals and very good in emergence response. Bly has a high standard of safety just like the one done by BHPbiliton..

it was my first job and he tought me how to be a responsible and reliable employee.
