Oil rigs PDF Print E-mail

ImageHave you considered working on oil rigs? Various jobs and careers are available, but you need to be careful if you deal with an ‘employment’ agent as there are scammers out there.

This free website is a useful place to start, especially the South African page .

Here are some websites that are worth investigating as well

Here are 2 suggested routes to go.

  • Qualify as an underwater welder . You need to do a welding course and qualify as a commercial diver, and although the work is dangerous, it is very well paid. Training as a commercial diver in South Africa is based at Saldanha.
  • Qualify as a paramedic (offered by Wits Tech as a 4 year course) – you will be in demand, you get awesome pay and leave, and the work is less physical than other oil rig jobs!
Oil rigs are found all over the world, even off Mossel Bay in South Africa! And oil will remain big business for many years to come.
