These are some of the characteristics you can expect from a job in the offshore oilfield. This job requires you to travel often and be away from home and your family for long periods of time. You will find that many times it will be a hard job that has to be accomplished in harsh weather conditions. But before you run away you should also know that despite all this, growth opportunities are tremendous. Starting salary for a person with no previous experience is anything between $40,000 to $60,000 annually and that too for working only for six months in a year. This can only sound great. Additionally once the workers have made a good job at the lower positions in the rig, they are usually promoted to higher posts depending on their performance.
There are many types of jobs available while working offshore in an oil rig. For instance, people are recruited in the control room, at the deck, for drilling, rig management, mechanical and electrical department, catering. Others are hired as rig welders, scaffolders, radio operators, medic, rig safety and training coordinator, mud engineer, painters.
Control room personnel include barge engineers who are in charge of the control room; control room operators and assistant CROs control the stability of the rigs and make liquid transfers. On the deck, people are recruited as maintenance roustabout and foreman who looks after the deck area. Crane operators whose main duties includes crane operations.
Drill crew includes positions such as roughnecks, pumpman, dereckman and drillers. Roughnecks and pumpman takes mud weights and looks after the machinery required by the particular operation. The Dereckman's main duty is the maintenance of the machinery in the mud pump room. Drillers occupy one of the most important positions on the rig. He is responsible for the drilling in the seabed.
There are many types of jobs you can perform in an offshore rig. Tool pushers and offshore installation managers are part of what is considered the rig management crew. Tool pushers work in the rig offices and rig floors. Offshore installation managers are responsible for the entire rig.
There is also the mechanical department that hires motorman, mechanics and maintenance supervisors who are responsible for all mechanical operations in the rig. In the electrical department you will find positions like electricians, electronics technician and maintenance supervisors who will take care of all repairs needed for the electrical equipment in the oil rig. And of course there is also the catering team that is made up of the stewardess, cook and the camp boss who are in charge of the catering, laundry and cleaning for the entire crew.
There are certain points that you should consider while you are thinking about joining an oil rig crew and start a career in this industry. For example; one needs to keep in mind things like health, age, experience, education and interests. The job in the rig requires you to be in a good physical condition, and you need to pass a number of medical examinations. The average age is 27 for offshore jobs in oilrigs, but there are also jobs for people less than 18 years old. Experience in a particular field will help you to gain a better position and wage, but by and large, no previous experience or skill is required to be hired in the offshore oil rig crews.
