Life on the Rig Floor at Victory Well Servicing

The rig floor is where well servicing work comes together. It’s physical, fast-paced, and team-driven. As a floorhand at Victory Well Servicing, you’re part of the core crew that keeps operations moving safely and steadily, shift after shift.

Floorhands are involved in every stage of the job, supporting setup, execution, and handover between crews. The role requires steady attention, physical effort, and respect for how closely the crew works together.

How a Shift Typically Starts

Each shift begins with preparation and communication.

Before any tools move, the crew gathers for a safety meeting. The rig manager and driller walk through the plan for the shift, current well conditions, and any known risks. Floorhands are expected to listen closely, ask questions, and speak up if something doesn’t line up.

From there, attention turns to the rig itself. 

• Checking tools, handling equipment, lines, and safety gear 

• Clearing the rig floor, walkways, and stairs 

• Making sure everything is ready before work begins

Starting the shift this way sets the tone. Everyone knows the plan, and the rig is ready to work.

What the Work Looks Like on the Floor

Once operations are underway, the work becomes a steady cycle of hands-on tasks. 

Floorhands spend much of the shift: 

• Handling pipe, slips, tongs, and elevators 

• Making and breaking connections 

• Coordinating with the derrickhand and driller 

• Watching for changes in how the equipment or pipe is behaving 

Small details matter. A change in sound, movement, or pressure can be an early sign that something isn’t right. Floorhands are often the first to notice those changes and are expected to say something when they do. 

Between connections and trips, keeping the floor clean is part of the job. Hoses get moved, spills get cleaned up, and tools are returned to their place. A tidy rig floor helps prevent injuries, especially during night shifts or poor weather. 

Tasks rotate during the shift so no one is stuck doing the same thing all day. When it’s time to hand over to the next crew, there’s a short debrief to pass along notes and make sure the rig is ready to keep working. 

What Victory Looks for in a Floorhand

Victory looks for people who take pride in their work and understand what it means to be part of a 24/7 operation. 

That includes: 

• Experience on workover or completion rigs 

• Solid safety habits and willingness to follow procedures 

• Reliability and consistency across every shift 

• A team-first mindset and clear communication 

• A valid driver’s license, as travel on and off location is part of the role 

This role is built for people who show up prepared, contribute to the crew, and take responsibility for the work in front of them. 

Why Experienced Hands Choose Victory

For experienced hands, how the operation is run matters just as much as the work itself. 

At Victory, floorhands value: 

• Steady, consistent pay supported by year-round 24/7 operations 

• Predictable schedules that make it easier to plan time off rotation 

• A safety approach built into daily planning and execution 

• Well-maintained equipment that’s ready to work 

• Clear standards and procedures that support consistent execution on every location 

• Opportunities to advance as experience and demonstrated capability grow 

Many experienced workers want the same things: to go home safe, to be paid fairly and consistently for their work, and to be part of a crew that takes pride in doing the job right. Victory’s operating model is built around those expectations. 

Who This Role Is a Good Fit For 

Working as a floorhand at Victory is a good fit if you: 

• Have experience on service or workover rigs 

• Enjoy hands-on, physical work 

• Value working as part of a strong crew
