A Floor Man, also known as a roughneck, plays a vital role in the drilling crew on an oil or gas rig. Working directly on the rig floor, the Floor Man is responsible for assisting with drilling operations, handling heavy equipment, and ensuring the rig runs efficiently and safely. His primary duties include connecting and disconnecting drill pipes, cleaning and maintaining the rig floor, and operating manual and power tools. The Floor Man supports the Driller and Derrickman by lifting, moving, and aligning sections of drill pipe and casing. He also assists in assembling drilling components and performs regular checks on equipment. Safety is a top priority for this role. The Floor Man must wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times and strictly follow all safety procedures. He may also assist in tasks such as mud mixing, rig inspections, and rig-up/rig-down operations. This position requires physical strength, stamina, teamwork, and the ability to follow instructions under pressure. Floor Men often work long shifts in tough environments, but their contribution is essential to the success and safety of drilling operations. Being a Floor Man is often the first step toward higher positions like Derrickman or Driller on a rig crew.
