Jobs Offshore (No Experience Needed On An Oil Rig)
If you are looking for jobs offshore but have no experience, it can be difficult to know where to start. However, it is not as difficult as many people think. Finding and getting the oil rig job is not particularly complicated. It just takes time and effort. The real problem lies in keeping the job once you get it. There is a good reason why offshore drilling contractors are always hiring workers for their offshore oil platforms – the work is very tough and many men find they can’t take the hardship.
So how does a man get oil rig jobs with no experience? Well, if you really have absolutely no experience – never worked at sea, never worked in construction, never worked on a land oil rig – you can only start at the bottom. A slow, steady and sure way is to prepare yourself by spending a year or two on each of the jobs mentioned above. It earns you relevant experience and it toughens you up for a real job offshore on an oil rig.
Of course, you may prefer the less certain shortcut of trying for roustabout jobs vacancies on oil wells in shallow waters near shore. In the Gulf states where there is a lot of offshore oil drilling, there are offshore oil rigs which operate near land. Such oil rigs sometimes hire temporary workers on day rates during periods of high activity. All that the oil service contractor needs from such temp oil workers is a strong back, the ability to follow instructions and the ability to swim so that they do not drown if they fall off the boat transporting them. In many cases, the contractor draws these workers from the state unemployment office. It is a good way to gain much needed job experience on an offshore oil well and can get you much needed contacts for more permanent employment. However, if you are not a resident in a Gulf state, this option may not be open to you.
Roustabout jobs on land provide a different experience from oil rig roustabout jobs offshore. Land-based oil rigs are usually smaller operations than offshore oil rigs. Nevertheless, there are still many features in common between the two, and getting experience on an oil well on dry land can provide valuable skills when working offshore. If you supplement it with job experience on a trawler or Navy or Coast Guard sailor, you will have a much better chance of getting hired for entry level rig jobs compared to someone who just graduated from high school.
Yet another alternative is to gain some kind of useful skill that can be transferred to an offshore oil rig. One such example is scaffolding. In a construction yard, the basic hourly rate is around $4 to $7, and you have to work 12 hours or more. Take this skill to an offshore oil rig and you can expect to earn somewhere around $55,000 a year. If you have a head for heights and are willing to slave away for a year or two to gain the needed job experience, this can be a good option.
Trade skills are also another path on to an offshore oil rig. There are posts for welders, electricians and mechanics on board an offshore oil platform. It helps if you have worked on a land rig before, but actual offshore experience is often not necessary. You can make around $55,000 to $60,000 a year, which is about double the wages on land. However, one disadvantage of such jobs is that career promotion prospects are limited. A common roustabout can work his way up the ladder to roughneck, derreck hand, assistant driller and driller. An experienced driller on a deep water oil rig can expect to make $100,000 a year or more. On the other hand, trade skills tend to be easier to transfer between land and sea, so it all evens out.
There are many paths to oil rig jobs offshore when you have no experience. What is important is your determination and for you to keep an open mind.

Oil rig jobs pay well, especially those located offshore in deep water. They often pay double or more for equivalent jobs on land. However, those with no experience usually have little chance of getting a piece of the action unless they have the connections (e.g. a father or brother who is already a veteran oil worker).
The problem is that an offshore oil rig is a complicated piece of machinery that costs billions of dollars to build and at least half-a-million dollars a day to operate. A careless or clueless worker could easily cause an accident that could derail operations for several days, costing the offshore drilling company hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. This is not just the cost of repairs, but could include the loss of profits, penalties from the oil company that hires the oil rig, penalties from the government and work stoppage from inspections and investigations into the cause of the accident. The worker himself could well lose his life or be horribly mutilated. This is the same reason oil drilling contractors are so strict about not hiring workers who are drug addicts or users.
Nevertheless, there are ways to get hired for offshore oil rig jobs with no direct experience. One way is if you have a relevant and useful trade skill, e.g. if you are an experienced welder, electrician or mechanic. Another is if you have a specialized certification or qualification like a Registered Nurse or certified radio operator.
One option if you have absolutely no job experience is to get on board as a roustabout or steward. Stewards usually work indoors. They clean the crew quarters, do the laundry and help the cook. There is not really much room for advancement, and normally those with related experience, e.g. those who have previously worked on a cruise liner would have a strong advantage.
In theory, a roustabout does not need any experience. All he needs is guts, a lot of brawn, a good dose of common sense and the ability to follow instructions. In practice, if you really have no experience, you should spend some time in related jobs. What kind of jobs? A sailor in the Navy or Coast Guard, a laborer in a construction yard, a dock hand, a fisherman on a trawler, a roustabout on a land-based oil rig, etc.
As you can see, these are all jobs where you have to work outdoors even in bad weather. The best is to combine a stint on the sea as a sailor with a stint on land working as a roustabout. Then you can more easily convince the drilling company to hire you.
Does this mean you have no way of working on an oil rig right after graduating high school? Not necessarily. There are ways to find roustabout job vacancies without going through the job boards. If you can find the hiring manager and directly get an interview, you might be able to talk him into giving you a job. But this does require a certain amount of luck. Of course, it is easier to get lucky in good times when oil companies are desperate for workers.
However, those who favor making their own luck should first join the Navy or Coast Guard. While serving their nation, they should make sure to work as a real sailor at sea and pick up some other useful skills at the same time. That way, they have more options of getting hired when they finish their service. For example, a sailor with welding skills and skill in operating the radio has three options for getting an oil rig job. He can become a roustabout, with the possibility of promotion to roughneck, derrick man, and driller. He can become an oil rig welder. He can become a radio operator. If he chooses not to work at sea, he also has plenty of options on land.
There are many ways to get no experience oil rig jobs. If you have the patience and are willing to work hard, fill up the gaps in your experience by getting easier and lower paid jobs. As you gain experience, you can then move on to a more difficult job. Ultimately, getting a high paid job on a deep water oil rig should not be a problem. Like it or not, drilling in deep waters is the future of the oil industry.
