Offshore Employment on Oil Rigs

If you have any questions about offshore employment on oil rigs, you can email us on info@oil-industry-jobs.com

The recent uprising in technology and computers now allows prospective employees with computer experience an upperhand in obtaining a offshore employment on oil rigs. With the growing need for faster, more efficient and safer ways of extracting oil and natural gas, there is a need for skilled workers to maintain and operate these computer complex systems. Employers are now seeking workers who possess many of these acquired skills. To obtain offshore employment in the oil industry at an entry level doesn't necessarily require previous experience or training. To apply for a position as a roughneck or roustabout you need to be physically able and pass a physical fitness test. Several oil companies are now administering screening for drug use and requiring applicants to undertake aptitude tests. Training is given to all new employees, to acquire all of the basic skills.

If you wish to apply for other offshore employment entry jobs including engineering technician, you would require a 2-year degree. For more professional jobs that include petroleum engineer, geologist you need a bachelor's degree. Oilrig companies now prefer people with master's degree and you will require a PhD for petroleum research jobs. Other qualities hiring companies prefer for maintenance and well operation jobs include:

- Good mechanical ability
- Live nearby
- Have common knowledge of the processes of oilrigs.

The availability of advancement in offshore employment on oil rigs is usually for workers who have experience and better skilled. A skilled roughneck may move up to derrick operator and then after several years could advance to driller or even advance to toolpusher. A person who has gained onshore experience will more likely advance to an offshore rig as they have general understanding of how an oil field works, rather than someone who has no previous experience on or offshore. Workers may also be offered higher paid jobs in foreign countries, but this would mean leaving families for longer periods of time and adjusting the local customs. Gaining experience in offshore employment in the oil industry is also valuable for working in other industries like construction or machinery.
