Cameron’s first taste of drilling and drilling equipment was when he worked as a drillers offsider in the Goldfields of Western Australia. Red dirt, long, hot days and hard-work didn’t deter Cameron from an ambition to design and develop beter equipment and processes He set about with a plan to become an innovator and entrepreneur.

Cameron completed his apprenticeship as a Mechanical Fitter, specialising in Hydraulics and Fluid Power Technology in 2004 with Queensland drilling supplies component, service and repair company Pacific Hydraulics before commencing a role with mining and construction company Sandvik.

Shaun is an amazing tradesperson, no other way to describe it. If fabrication were an art form, he would be a master! Shaun’s consistently high-quality work is only exceeded by his loyalty and devotion to Drilltechniques.

In a fabrication environment, an engineering company is often defined by the quality of the welds that hold components together.

Our work is consistently tested by approved NDT and other means. In all cases where Shaun’s work has been assessed, we get glowing reports that are happily passed on to the customer.

A young(ish) man of many talents, none the least of which is his banter in the smoko room.

Seriously though, Phil has established himself as an invaluable member of our team through his diligent approach to work and the multi-trade capabilities he has demonstrated in the manufacturing and production side of our business.

We are fortunate to have Phil onboard as he provides great support to Shaun in the fabrication shop as well as playing a part in the final assembly team.

We can also call on Phil for general fitting, repairs and maintenance.
