Offshore workers on thier duty
The requirements that employers set to oil rig job applicants has more to do with the personality and character of a person, than his/her expertise, training, or experience he/she has. Oil rigs are continually looking for new hires as in this sector demand for labor force significantly exceeds the supply due to high salaries offered by this sector. In addition, offshore industry is characterized by high labor turnover that further increases the number of vacancies announced every month.
There is a common misunderstanding about oil rig job. Many people think that they are only about drilling and oil extraction, however oil rigs also require additional personnel: cooks, crane operators, mechanical and electrical technicians, doctors, engineers, etc.
There are several requirements that oil rig job applicants must satisfy:
Health Requirements – the main requirement is that applicant must be in a good health and physical condition. During hiring process you will be asked to provide appropriate confirmation that you are eligible applicant. Employers usually request full physical examination and X-ray before a hiring decision is made. Sometimes applicants are required to pass even drug test.
Age Requirements – the only requirement is that oil rig job applicants must be at least 18 years old. On average offshore staff is 27 years old.
Experience Requirements – experience is considered as an asset at any job in any sector of the economy. The same applies for offshore sector. The more experience you have, the better. But if you do not have any, you still have a chance to get in, since there are numerous entry-level oil rig job available. However you should know that the work is quite hard and you will have to work hard. If you work hard and honestly, you have good prospects to make quick advancements in your career.
Education Requirements – usually for entry-level jobs there are no educational requirements. Most employers are more concerned with your motivations and ability to learn things quickly. However there are jobs that require minimal education background, such as controller, engineer and etc. They require minimum of high school education. The logic here is the same than anywhere else: more elaborated your job is – more education you need to get hired and fulfill your duties successfully. Offshore employers frequently run training programs for their employees to develop their knowledge and expertise.
Dependability – what is for sure is that you become dependable. You need to be at the workplace in time. You may an expert, but you are not there in time that is the “best” way to get fired. So you need to be attentive and be aware of your timetable.
Ambition – oil rig job is interesting, exciting and adventurous. If you work hard and fulfill your duties accurately and in time, you have a good opportunity to develop successful offshore career.
