Your Questions About Oil Rig Jobs

mpmulkern answers:It very much depends on what skills you have to offer – the UK sector is shrinking and the days are long gone when anyone could just rock up and get a job as a roughneck or steward.

There are a few websites you can try:

Rigzone tends to be mainly US and worldwide http://www.rigzone.com/

Oilcareers is more general http://www.oilcareers.com/worldwide/

NDT cabin is specifically for inspection work http://www.ndtcabin.com/

Sodexho are one of the catering companies http://uk.sodexo.com/uken/careers/careers.asp

Unless you have a particular skill that a company really wants then you will have to have your survival and medical certificates, which are quite expensive. Sorry to be so negative but there really isn’t such a person as an ‘offshore worker’ – you need the skill that’s required and then apply it offshore.

Good luck and I might see you out here one day!
