Crew Titles and Job Descriptions:
Derrickhand
The Derrickhand is next in line to the Operator/Relief Operator on a service rig labor crew. This position is responsible for all work above the rig floor: monitoring and maintaining proper procedures and operation as related to the nature of the work and preventative maintenance programs. The Derrickhand performs all well servicing tasks from an elevated position in the rod basket or tubing board. The Derrickhand assist in rigging up and down, picking up or laying down tubing and working the floors or operating the rig when necessary.
Operator / Relief Operator
The primary duty of the Operator/Relief Operator is to operate the controls and equipment on a rig. The Duty station for both of these operations is the Operator/Relief Operator console, which includes brakes, throttles, clutches and gauges. The Operator/Relief Operator has invariably worked up through Floorhand and Derrickhand to become acquainted with the equipment and procedures. The Operator/Relief Operator manages crew members, maintains productivity standards and works closely with customers ensuring that quality products and services are being safely provided to the customer.
Tool Pusher
The Tool Pusher’s primary duties are to organize and direct labor crews and subcontractors and are considered the on-site Contractor representative.

The Tool Pusher needs to be capable and resourceful in lining up equipment for consecutive jobs requested by the customer while ensuring the rig and equipment is functioning and operating properly. The Tool Pusher, acting responsibly, has the right to refuse such duties or orders, as in his own opinion, compromises his safety, or those on the rig.
