Day-to-day operating brief

What Driller work looks like in practice

A construction driller forms holes or bores in concrete, masonry or ground using equipment selected for the task. The contract should address service detection, dust, noise, water, reinforcement, exclusion zones and approval before drilling into an uncertain structure.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Set up and operate approved drilling equipment within competence.
  • Verify drawings, markings, scans and permits before drilling.
  • Control dust, slurry, noise, vibration and work-area access.
  • Check rigs, bits, guards and water or extraction systems.
  • Record depth, obstruction, reinforcement and completed openings.
  • Stop and escalate uncertain services, structure or changed locations.

A realistic working scenario

The marked opening conflicts with scan results showing a possible embedded service. The driller stops, preserves the marking and scan evidence and seeks a revised authorised location before operating the rig.

Outputs to agree

  • accurately positioned and sized drilled openings
  • controlled dust, slurry and work areas
  • clear reports of obstruction and equipment issues

Records and evidence

  • Drawing and drilling schedule.
  • Service scan and permit.
  • Bit, rig and pre-use check.
  • Depth, obstruction and completion entry.
  • Work records.
  • Handover notes.

Reporting relationship

Typically reports to Line Manager or Department Manager. Confirm the employer's actual reporting structure in the builder.

Authority and escalation

  • The driller may select routine tooling within the approved method. Location changes, uncertain services, structural reinforcement cutting and non-standard setup require site or engineering approval.
  • Obtain approval before committing expenditure, changing contractual commitments or making regulated or staffing decisions outside the assigned role.

Tools and systems

  • Site records.
  • Project systems.
  • Risk assessment records.

Workplace context

  • Construction sites, project offices, client sites and approved work locations.

Training and certification

  • Complete employer-required health and safety training.

Contract priorities

  • equipment competence

Frequently asked questions

Can drilling start from a paint mark alone?

Only where the project's service, drawing and permit checks have also been completed as required.

Who approves cutting reinforcement?

The responsible structural or design authority should approve it; the driller should not infer permission from the requested hole.

What checks must a Construction Driller complete after a hole is paint-marked?

The project's drawing, scan, service and permit checks must also be completed and remain valid for that location before drilling starts.

Who can authorise a Construction Driller to cut reinforcement?

The responsible structural or design authority should assess and authorise it; the requested opening does not itself confer permission.

Can the Driller move a hole around an obstruction?

Not without review of services, structure and interfaces followed by a controlled revised location.

How should silica dust and slurry be controlled?

Use the approved wet or extraction method, containment, respiratory protection, cleanup and disposal arrangements for the particular task.

Can work at different sites be included?

Yes. State the region, travel, transport of rigs and tools, notice and accommodation where required.

What should happen when the rig or bit behaves abnormally?

Stop, isolate the equipment and inspect or escalate the fault rather than continuing with changed vibration, noise, heat or control response.
