Anyone??????????????

[MonoWorld]

I am interested in working offshore oil rig. Currently with Electronics, Computer and Communication engineering Diploma with Telematics major.

 

Very keen to get a experience in this field. Anybody can give a guidance how to get the job?

[badzman]

It's good to read up the recruit page and source for opportunities.

 

Sometimes we can't head straight out there, as companies normally offers offshore opportunities to experienced personnels & talents or rather.

 

Try to take one step at a time, and grab opportunities if you come by one.

 

Good luck.

 

As for myself, I also wish i can have the opportunity later one, still a greenhorn in the refinery world.

i work in keppel fels, we build OIL RIGS , but i dun work in the RIG .. some times get chance to talk to the ppl from the RIG. sounds like a tough job at the same time. nice money not easy for a starter

[newcomer]

we build BOPs for oil rigs.

[lunloon]

easiest way to get on an oil rig = be a hands man

[badzman]

Used to watch this channel "mega builders" or something like that in discovery channel, very interesting, can see how people work in an oil rig. Very very harsh environment...

[BIKE]

anyone currently working at oil rig care to intro more, like wat u do on oil rig, i know the pay is high, work very siong and need to travel overseas like e.g USA, Korea and etc. and stay on ship for few months to work.

hi guys, this is an interesting thread

i never knew that there were a good number of people interested in working offshore in Singapore

 

there are not too many and of those that are working offshore the majority are service hands, i.e. working for a company providing a specific service

like what some of you mentioned here already, ROV, NDT, BOP servicing, even engineering for construction etc

 

it's not that it is a tough job, it is more a case of it being very long and a little more physical than what most Singaporeans are used to.

 

it's not that easy to get in as we hardly have any rigs working here doing drilling in singapore, so one way is that if any of you are working in the yards doing construction or refurbishments of the rigs, you could try asking them if there are any vacancies.

 

here are some options you can try looking out

Hai Ah_Ben,

From the descriptions, can I assume are U a job recruitment officer in the Offshore area? Beside working offshore, do U have any opportunities in doing engineering/design for offshore project?

 

Currently, I am seeking for further opportunities in the Upstream Oil/Gas industry. I am not a sea man or any crew on board. But I am just a little engineer working in Keppel who mostly doin enigneering design work for FPSO, drilling ship type of project. I would like to hone myself specifically in any onshore engineering job which involve in all upstream oil/gas area. Would be very interested to join Classification, Ship/Rig Owner firm, consultancy firm. Any recommendation for me? Or any advise on how I can move myself up in my career in the offshore industry? Nowadays, I seems that "sub sea" operation are very popular.

 

Ah Ben, can I have ur contact so as I can learn more from your professional experience?

Hi, I'm from Singapore and I'm in my early 20's. I don't mind being an unskilled labour and starting from scratch. I've been wanting to work on an offshore oilrig job ever since I've heard my friends talk about it.

 

How can I go about it and are there any education requirements for an entry level position, so I can start planning on securing my entry?

 

I've pm-ed some of you guys, now I'm just hoping that anyone that comes across this thread can give me any kind of help, thanks..

[fooz]

good to see considerable interest in this industry..

well, RM is paid that kinda amt for a reason:

the paramount safety of 100+ guys on the rig is no joke,

and such is the responsible that one has to bear.

 

anw, another cheaper (?) and more fun place to do BOSIET is Miri, Sarawak.

=)

theres 2 safety centers to choose from.

 

cant say much about Alert, as i didnt do mine there.

but, i did do my IWCF @Alert, since they are the only one in Sgp.

All i can say, they are def not cheap.
