    Potential Career in Oil Rigs

    Hi all,

    I am looking to leave the Army at my 12 yr point towards the end of 2013, and am intersted in a new career on the rigs. Can anyone advise me on the best way to go about things, in regards to courses i could do in advance, that may benefit me. Is there much jobs or chances for a soon to be ex RLC Supplier.

    Cheers for any replys.

    Do a NEBOSH course, they always need new health, safety and lipservice gurus to blame this shit on!

    Its been posted a few times before but Im sure an hour of your time and you'll get through the 50 + pages , I've posted a few times so work from the last page backwards .

    On your resettlement go for :

    Offshore Survival Aberdeen & Teesside - Offshore Safety Training & Offshore Survival Training - Falck Nutec UK - course required will be "Basic Offshore Safety Induction & Emergency Training - BOSIET"

    You need to make phone call's ..... a shit load of them to be exact and then gauge the response and possibility of gaining employment ! it can happen though just plod along and keep calling.

    As far as Courses at this stage I'd not do any more than the BOSIET ,just make contact with employers , Ive posted many links to companies in the past - they in turn will place you on relevant courses as and when required . As I said gauge from the conversations you have with them , don't waste all your resettlement funds yet !! all the best and ask if you need help or a direction to be pointed .

    Some of the big service companies are worth a try calling .

    Wireline & Slickline Services, Coiled Tubing & Pumping Services, Subsea Well Intervention & Pipeline Services

    Aberdeen, Great Britain Jobs at Baker Hughes

    Careers in Engineering | Manufacturing Jobs at Halliburton Regards

    North Sea GeoMarket Region Contacts, Schlumberger

    Careers at Expro | Oil Service Jobs | Technician Jobs | Working Offshore

    You'll be able to look at the companies web site just by looking at the logos to the right of the page etc after searching so just get their Tel nos etc and call them direct .

    http://www.oilcareers.com/content/ca...erdeen_oil.asp
    http://www.oilcareers.com/worldwide/


    This is the type of position you need to look at :

    http://www.qserv.com/recruitment/cur...ine-operator-s
    http://www.qserv.com/recruitment/cur...ing-operator-s
    http://careers.exprogroup.com/detail...an-3-positions
    http://careers.exprogroup.com/detail...ine-technician

    Lastly ..... forget about being an RLC Supplier as that don't exist offshore ( I believe you mean Tanker driver ) , you'll be a New Green hand start with life experience .

    My point being, all his questions could have been answered by clicking on a thread link TWO places down from his. If people are so hoplessly helpless, maybe leaving after 12 years and trying to fend for themselves is too rash a decision.
