Jarrad O'Loughlin
Jarrad been drilling since his teenage years; working with his Dad and his company Ozdrill. Starting with water bores and over the years broadening his skills to geotechnical and environmental drilling. Working with various other geotech companies expanded his skills and knowledge. And then going onto mine-sites to learn more about RC and air control. Rio Tinto gave Jarrad the opportunity to gain certs, including cert iv medic, in mine site emergency response, snake handling, mental health, D&A and mines rescue.
