toolpusher

The head of the drilling crew on an oil or gas rig. What began as a joke name for the man in charge of the equipment is now an official term for the leadership position.

The manager of a service or drilling rig. Can be found mostly in the doghouse stayin dry when its raining. Stain cool when its hot. Ensures all maintenance, supplies and operations running smoothly. They are always right even when their wrong. Expects 100% out of his guys at all times. Can also be found babysitting most if not all people on lease. Keeps dummy roughnecks from puttin their fingers where they wouldn't put their dick. Most people hate em, its lonely at the top suckas.
