Asked by luv my animals
I am looking (for my husband) for a pumper or well watcher job. Are these the correct job titles? What companies hire for these types of jobs? He has worked for the last 3yrs as a salt water truck driver. He would now like to go into a pumper or well watcher job. If you know of any can you please give company names and towns. Thanks We live in Henderson area and aparently the ladies up there dont know what a pumper or well watcher is.

Best Answer:
I live in western Louisiana and know a little about some people that are pumpers. Most of them in this area and in Texas and Oklahoma work for themselves. They may keep track of a lot of wells for several different companies in a certain area. Most of them that I know had an inside track and knew about how to work on them to keep them flowing and producing. About the only thing I could tell someone trying to break into it is maybe try to work for someone who is a full time pumper in a different area for a while and learn what all needs to be done and gain the experience. Then maybe try to go to work on your own. I do know that it pays very well and there are a lot of tax benefits. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good luck.

well obviously chevron and Texaco are good companies that your husband can work for (if you are in Texas) as for the position i think you mean Wellhead operator.
