Boart Longyear operates and has employees in over 40 countries. We are dedicated to promoting the well-being and development of our diverse employees and communities in which we are present. We believe our support of those communities can best be accomplished through a variety of means, including training and hiring locals, financial contributions, in-kind drilling services, coordination of volunteer services by our employees, and limiting the environmental impact of our operations.

In support of this core value we need to recruit, develop and retain a talented, diverse and motivated workforce that shares our values and is representative of the many communities in which we work around the world.
