How to get a job on oil rigs?

  • Can someone please advise how to get onto oil rigs? I'm a qualified Mechanic and can't seem to get anywhere searching the internet! Most of the searches only want money to register!! Any advice would be great. Regards Glenn

  • Answer:

    Goggle "yellow pages Houston". Look under Contract Drilling. There you will find all the drilling rig owners. They are looking for a lot of help. You must be in good health, be able to pass a drug screen test and have reliable transportation to work. Good luck!

You can register for free on some websites. I work on rigs and ships as well...register on www.rigzone.com or oilcareers.com, www.seajobs.info. There are also plenty of agencies hiring for the North sea. Clyde Marine, Northern Marine Management, Delta. Look them up and give them a call, there is a big demand for all ranks at the moment.

Contact Halliburton. They will probably send you to KB & R. They have a lot of work in the North Sea. A lot of work is available through BP as well.

I'm a caterpillar mechanic, and have been for 16 years. From my experience you have to go to some offshore places of business and fill out applications. For example, Horizon offshore is always looking for good mechanics or as they call them engineers. I don't know what area you are from, but a lot of companies based in texas and where i'm from louisiana are always looking for a few good mec.s. I would start with some companies like Horizon, Tideco, Spindletop, shell,etc. I hope I helped you start looking in the right direction. Good luck in your quest.
