 If
you are looking for a challenging career with the opportunity to travel
the world and receive an excellent salary, an oil rig job could be for
you. The demand for power and oil is ever-increasing on a global basis
and so is the need for oil rig workers, as the oil and gas industry
continues to expand.
We have hundreds of oil rig jobs
to choose from within the oil and gas industry whatever your
experience, background, or qualifications. Though the pay is generally
excellent at all levels when compared with similar non-oil industry
jobs, some oil rig jobs can be physically demanding so seek advice on
the position you are looking for.
As most oil rigs need to be maintained 7 days a week, oil rig
workers usually work on a two weeks on, two weeks off basis, allowing
plenty of time to travel and explore the local region or return home.
This working schedule can be very attractive allowing longer periods of
quality “free” time when compared to a regular 9 to 5 job with two day
weekends.
Other benefits of an oil rig
job include long lasting friendships with workmates, excellent living
and sleeping conditions, and plenty of opportunities to climb the
career ladder for hardworking and focused workers – not to mention the
potential financial rewards for which oil rig jobs are renowned.
Whether you are looking for an oil rig job on offshore oil rigs  or
onshore oil rigs, there are a wide range of vacancies all over the
world including Scotland, Canada, Europe, Nigeria, Asia, U.S, and the
Middle East.
Jobs within the oil rig industry
include entry level positions for candidates without prior offshore oil
rig experience such as Welders, Scaffolders, Roustabout, Medics, Radio
Operators, Mud Engineers, Painters, and Electricians.
Other more specialised oil rig jobs include Derrick Crew, Maintenance
Forman, Crane Operators, Maintenance Roustabout, Drillers, Roughnecks,
Pumpman, Catering Crew and Steward/ess, Control Room Operators, Barge
Engineers, Maintenance Supervisors, Toolpushers, Onboard
Representatives, Offshore Installations Managers, Mechanics, Motormen,

There are also different types of oil rigs across the world you can
work on. These include Semi Submersibles, Platforms, Jack Ups, Drill
