Entry Level - Leasehand (Oil and Gas)

The Leasehand Position 
 

As summer heats up, Ventia is hiring additional Leasehands for the Oil & Gas industry. This role involves physically demanding tasks in remote locations across Queensland and Western Australia, with a 15:13 roster. The Leasehand position is similar to a Trade Assistant role. You’ll be on the move—fetching equipment, assisting with site cleaning, and supporting the crew with various tasks to ensure operations run smoothly.

On top of gaining hands-on experience, you'll also be enrolled into Certificate II in Oil & Gas Drilling (Onshore) and Well Servicing—just like an apprenticeship. This is your opportunity to learn the ropes, develop your skills, and kickstart your career in the Oil & Gas sector.

Duties Include:

• Rigging Up and Down: Assist with rigging up and down the site for each job.
• Vehicle & Equipment Prep: Prepare vehicles and equipment for action, ensuring everything is in working order.
• Manual Labour: Help with a variety of physical tasks as directed by the rig crew.
• Site Cleaning: Keep the site, including the smoko shack, clean and tidy, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for the crew.
• General Maintenance: Assist with general maintenance and site upkeep to keep operations running smoothly.

What’s On Offer:

• Comprehensive industry training and upskilling
• True work-life balance—15 days on / 13 days off
• Career development and growth opportunities
• Experience with leading contracts in the industry
• Full PPE and uniform provided
• Outstanding safety records, standards, and practices
• Personal digital wellbeing platform for health & wellbeing
• Opportunities to travel to beautiful locations across Queensland & Australia

About You:

• Willingess to travel to Toowoomba for the point of hire
• A manual driver’s licence (Car or higher)
• A willingness to take on challenging, outdoor manual labour tasks
• Ability to work in remote and extreme weather conditions—summer heat can be intense, and you’ll need to stay focused and safe
• A positive attitude and team mentality, as you'll be working alongside a close-knit crew in some of Australia’s most remote locations
• Willingness to commit to a 15/13 roster, working 12-hour shifts, with the flexibility to adapt to the demands of the role
