oil rig jobs....goodbye 9-5 hell.

[lucious]

This has got to be one of the coolest jobs ever.

2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. Awesome pay. No commuting. No rent. Food taken care of. No hustle and bustle, no office bullchit, no ****gy coworkers who I want to push off a building.


Extra pay for remote locations isolated from everyone?Come at me bro, couldnt give a chit about being isolated and forever alone. In fact, I fcking hate 99% of people. Dangerous? Sure, at least theres excitement and I wont commit suicide from having such a fcking boring life.


Only problem is it seems like you need experience for most oil rig jobs. How do you get in with no experience?

lol havent got a job, havent even applied. Looking for a job that isnt stressing years of experience, like the most basic entry level job there is.


Fcking hate what im doing now-grad school, get paid below poverty line to do something incredibly demanding.

Where do you live. Do you have any experience with manual labour? Most oil companies will hire you if you do and let them know you are willing to work in a physically demanding environment, isolated from the real world for weeks on end. Just apply for a leasehand position. If your in alberta pm me and i can send you in the right direction.

You get two weeks off after that-14 days straight of nothing but chilling out with all that money you've earned.

Manual work doesnt bother me-what bothers me is having to sit in an office with people i fcking hate and want to murder every day, for a chit pay.

[Gymboree]

Try 2 weeks on 1 week off. Working camp jobs usually ****ing sucks. You will get ****gy co-workers

[VlKlNG]

go on...

[Dhboy]

yeah im sure there are loads of gyms out in the oilfields. Sign up at golds gym.

I live in Australia, but aus has a burgeoning oil and gas industry too. Rig jobs all around just need to find the right way in.


Couldnt care less about the isolation or foreveralone, manual work doesnt bother me either due to my fitness lifestyle.

[mac2118]

around here the only qualification you need is being able to fill out the entire application before you leave.

at least that's what it seems like trying to talk to some of the workers when I see them out at the bars.

The rigs have fitness equipment on them brah

[1hundred]

Leasehand position is what youre after. just be prepared to be the b1tch for the first couple months and practice youre cleaning skills. you will spend alot of your time cleaning the rig, taking out the trash, mixing mud, and running errands

[Boombaux]

The rigs have fitness equipment on them brah

-don't even have job
-haven't even applied
-suddenly know that every rig will have something from looking up vague info online

[1hundred]

not sure about aus, but alot of camps in alberta have fitness equiptment.

isnt it mandatory to have some fitness equipment on the rig

[taysiderinspace]

Doing mechanical and offshore engineering in scotland. got to my second last year at uni and im begining to reckon it would be easier to get offshore if i went through college and got a trade. my aim was to be offshore and make money whilst im young but lord knows whats going to happen

[jamHaltingdude]

Any idea what the going rate for Welders is up there?

[HaywoodJablomey]

Dont know what its like now, but 16ish years ago when my dad started he literally phoned a certain unnamed recruitment company every day for months on end till they gave him a shot at the chittiest job available (believe its a roustabout?) seeing as he had no experience or qualifications

Worked his way up, earning dat cashmoney now nomsayin

[|progress|]

The rigs have fitness equipment on them brah

No they don't. Only the most extensive man camps and offshore platforms will have them. It's not all glory as you speak.

[Sgt T-Man]

So you wanna be a rig pig eh?

[GoodToBeAMAN]

I'm so down for that chit to. I unno why. lots like something i would thoroughly enjoy..

some1 send me a PM please

[jizzmaster]

future doctor chekkin in, feelsgoodbaby

[DANZ0]

Interesting.

What about a gym or working about? Are there any fitness facilities on site?

I'd be willing to do 2 weeks of hard calisthenics/2 weeks of strength&hypertrophy.

[Nick817]

OP acts like it's his dream job... Never actually done it

[Neg_Train]

dangerous but can be pretty exciting.

This. I doubt it is easy labor. Slaving away in some dirty smelly rig in the cold and wet. Not to mention 14 days straight with just men, who are probably all fat and oily. Also what the hell are you going to do on the rig during downtime lol?

[Forlace91]

Have you ever worked fourteen days straight before op? That **** is intense. Twelve hour shifts for fourteen days is going to break you down if you've never done it. I know a couple of guys that are in this line of work and all they talk about is how stressful their job is but they also say it's worth it for the money. Honestly I don't think I could do something like that for the amount of work you're doing. But good luck op I hope you know what you're getting yourself in to
