A DAY IN THE LIFE AS A BLASTER

As a Blaster, you arrive at each job site ready to get to work. You start by conducting field tests to determine the type and quantity of explosives needed for the job. With attention to detail, you read and interpret drill patterns, instructions, and diagrams. You effectively communicate this information with all personnel on the job site to keep everyone informed and prepared to complete their duties. You arrange and detonate shots and conduct both pre- and post-shot safety audits for every shot service event. Your organizational skills assist you in completing all the necessary paperwork.

For each job, you comply with our customers' policies/procedures and ensure that your shot crew does the same. With the appropriate personnel, you coordinate the handling of client issues, blast area incidents, and/or public concerns. You enjoy the excitement that comes with being a Blaster, but you are always attentive to safety. Because you are highly knowledgeable of explosives, you are able to work safely to prevent accidents or injuries on the job.
