His position here is crewman. Some companies call them rodmen but that doesn’t seem to fit the job any longer. Crewmen are asked to do more today than hold the rod as the name rodman suggests. We ask them to be a part of the field team. We try to teach them the other aspects of the field work in order to advance their knowledge and become a versatile employee.
