If
you are interested in
entering the oil industry
then you need to be sure
you have got what it takes
to apply for these positions.
There are a few aspects
that need to be taken
into consideration
|

|
when
you are thinking about joining this industry.
If you have had little or no previous experience
then you will need to work at an entry level
job and work up. The easiest way to improve
your chances are to work for an onshore oil
rig company first or complete a Fire-fighter
or basic offshore
survival certificate. This
training is not required but
may increase your chances
of getting the job you want. When you
work at an onshore company you will be trained
to use the equipment safely and learn how
to oil rigs work. Onboard there will be classroom-based
training as well as practical training. Over
time you will be given the chance to move
forward and apply for work that is more demanding
and better paid. Starting off at an entry-level
job you can expect a salary of US 50,000 a
year and upwards. This amount may vary depending
on your contract with the Oil Company. Do
not be put off if you may think you are too
old. There are many people who work on an
oilrig will
into there 60’s! Provided you are in
good health, physically able and pass the
required medical certificate you are an ideal
candidate for the oil rig industry. To be
successful in obtaining work, be sure you
are physically strong and able, as this work
can be very demanding. If you know someone
who works within the industry, ask them to
put a word in for you as the company is more
likely to hire someone
who has a good reference from someone
who already works there. If you need to begin
at the bottom and work your way up, then you
will probably work as a roustabout or roughneck.
When you apply for these jobs, be sure to
mention any previous experience you may have
had to anything relating to oil industry work.
This could include trade experiences. If the
company considers you a good worker and competent,
they may then offer you another job that is
more difficult and demanding.
Salaries start of at
US 50,000 a year or US $300
a day and work up to US 100,000 a year.
If you want to work overseas
then you can earn up US 220,000. Living offshore
may be hard the first time but over time as
you adjust you will be more comfortable.There
are a few general guidelines to living offshore:
You may be required to work a nightshift,
as an oilrig is a 24-hour operation. Be sure
to not upset the chef, medic or radio operator,
as you may need medical attention, food and
helicopters.
There are safety issues to consider when working
in the
oil industry. When you arrive on an oil
rig you will be issued with a hard hat and
work goggles. These are usually required to
be worn when working around dangerous areas.
