Oil Rig Job, Entry-Level Offshore Jobs, Offshore Salaries

by Michael Pinker on February 25, 2010

Oil Rig JobYou do not have formal education; you do not have previous offshore job experience, however, you are looking for oil rig job opportunities and you are determined that you want to work on an oil rig. What you have is your good physical condition; attitude and you are a hard-worker.

Believe me with above mentioned characteristics you are eligible for entry level oil rig job.

Let me describe several categories of entry level oil rig jobs. That will assist you in finding entry level oil rig job that suits you better.

You can opt for a roustabout position. It represents an entry level offshore job and you can get involved in maintenance. You will have to clean the deck, main areas of the deck and the equipment. You may earn for this entry level offshore job 47000 USD per year.

You can help in moving the rig equipment on the rig where it is needed. This position will allow you to gain around 50,000-60,000 USD per year.

Welders and scaffolders carry out repair works. The last category of entry level oil rig jobs is not tied to one single rig but work wherever the employer company has a contract.

These positions will allow you to earn around 62000 USD- 57500 USD per year.

Painters are responsible for painting the rig. This type of oil rig jobs is demanding as many times you are supposed to work on heights. You can gain around 57500 US a year.

Another category of entry level oil rig job is radio operator. This position is definitely the easiest job on a rig however it is vital. The annual salary can be 62000 USD.

Storeman (woman) is responsible for stores on the rig. What can be really disturbing is that if you find a job on a small rig and there is the only one on this position you can be requested to be available whenever a cargo comes. The annual salary for this entry level offshore job represents 59000 USD.

A good position for those who have knowledge on offshore safety legislation and employer company policy is the rig safety coordinator. The annual salary is 80000 USD.

Another entry level oil rig job is mud engineer. You are going to need to know for this position how to drill. The salary represents around 72000 USD per year.

So after you have read the above description of the entry level oil rig jobs you found that you actually qualify for one it is time to find it. One guaranteed way of finding an offshore job vacancy is using the service of special websites. I am recommending you this site. Why? Because it contains a very large database of companies that are have offshore job vacancies. In addition, it is very well organized.
