About The Position

The Casing Floorhand is a senior field technician who independently performs complex tubular services operations, including casing running, conventional torque turn, and CDS equipment activities. The role validates job requirements, leads safe rig-up and rig-down execution, operates and troubleshoots specialized mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and data-acquisition equipment, and provides technical support to field crews and customer representatives. The position supports operational reliability by resolving most field issues, maintaining complete job and equipment documentation, training less-experienced technicians, and reinforcing safety, quality, and service standards. Work takes place primarily in field and rig environments, including outdoor and non-climate-controlled areas, with exposure to the elements and moderately noisy conditions. Prolonged or irregular hours may be required based on operational needs.
