Kluane Drilling is an exploration drilling company and work for junior exploration companies as well as mining companies in the Yukon.
Our operations require an experienced driller and a driller helper on each drill. The drills run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and the shifts for the helpers are 12 hours each. The rotation is usually 4 weeks on with at least 4 days off and up to 2 weeks off if people fly home for the break. We have accommodations in Whitehorse for days off for those employees who prefer a shorter break.
It is an excellent opportunity for environmental science, earth science and geology students to work at active mineral exploration projects and to gross approximately $2500 for a full week of work.
