Working conditions
While many of the offshore oil rig jobs are physical in nature, many of the rig companies go out of their way to make sure your time spent onboard is enjoyable. For instance, employees may find themselves living in accommodation wings that meet four star hotel standards - despite the fact that you a living in the middle of an ocean. While you are on board the company will usually meet all food, board and laundry expenses, along with travel and transfer costs.
