Comment: "I did actually find a job announcement for "assistant/night tool pusher", so Francis could be right here, but I think assistant tool pusher for Boresjef 2 might be the safest alternative here. Thanks to Vedis et al!"

toolpusher grade 1
There isn't the same system in the UK sector. It could of course just be 'toolpusher', who usually works from 6am to 6pm when activities are very busy, and boresjef 2 is 'night pusher', who usually works from 6pm to 6am when it is much quieter on the rig.
