The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the directional drilling industry and be experienced within a senior leadership position with the capability and the confidence to head up a department from day one. You'll need to be comfortable pricing jobs, winning work, and leading operations.
 
If you're a drilling professional who's been waiting for the right platform to truly lead then this will be the right opportunity for you.

The Role:

* Lead and build a brand-new directional drilling division from the ground up
 * Price and win new work across an existing customer base
 * Travel UK wide, South Coast to Yorkshire
 * Good autonomy and flexibility
 * Competitive package

The Person:

* Strong background in the directional drilling industry
* Experienced within a senior leadership position
 * Capable of heading up a department and driving growth
