Kennedy Drilling

01/09/2026

The Goldfields might be home, but it's not the only place Kennedy Drilling has called the office.

Over the years, our rigs, crews and support vehicles have travelled a fair way across Australia, working in some pretty remote and memorable parts of the country.

Today, Kennedy Drilling continues to have the capability to support exploration programs across Australia, wherever the next project takes us.

Digging through some of the old photos got us wondering...

For those who've worked in exploration around Australia, where has the job taken you and what location has been your favourite?

There are plenty of interesting places out there. We'd love to hear a few stories in the comments.

Hard work, red dirt and plenty of metres in the ground.

A career in drilling can take you a long way. For plenty of people, it starts with an opportunity to get on a rig, learn the ropes and build a career from the ground up.

At Kennedy Drilling, we’re always keen to hear from good people.
Whether you’ve got years of experience behind you or you’re looking for an opportunity to get started.

More metres in the ground at Pinjin.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has wrapped up its largest single Air Core drilling program to date, with 7,212 metres completed across 225 holes at the LTZ Flexure target.

It's great to see the scale of the program recognised and to have our crews and equipment playing a part in getting those metres into the ground.

A great result for the crews on the ground and everyone involved in the program.

Kalgoorlie Gold Mining has wrapped up its largest-ever aircore drilling program, punching out more than 7000m across 225 holes at the previously untested LTZ Flexure target within its Pinjin gold project, 140km northeast of Kalgoorlie in WA. The program tested a major structural bend - a classic plu...

This is drilling in Western Australia.

From the Goldfields to some of the more remote corners of the country, exploration drilling takes our crews, rigs and support equipment a long way off the beaten track.

It's challenging work, in some pretty remarkable parts of WA. And there's a lot more to it than what most people see from the highway.

We'll be sharing more of the people, places, projects and equipment that make up life at Kennedy Drilling, along with opportunities for those looking to build a career in the industry.

If drilling, exploration and life in the Goldfields is your thing, follow Kennedy Drilling and see where the work takes us next.

Community is about more than the work we do. It's about supporting the people and organisations that help make the Goldfields a great place to live.

We're proud to once again support the Rotary Club of Boulder - WA and the 2026 Radio Auction. We know the time and effort that goes into making events like this a success, and we're pleased to be able to play a small part.

Best of luck to everyone involved!

Thanks to John and the team from Kennedy Drilling for once again coming on board as a Nickel Sponsor for this year's Radio Auction.

Our vision is to be Australia’s Exploration Industry first choice for RC, RAB & AIR CORE DRILLING. We strive to deliver the cleanest possible sample, with both quantity and quality being paramount in our presentation with an ongoing commitment to provide a safe, secure and healthy working environment for our employees.
