ParticipantHello,
If you are an experienced ROV Pilot looking for an exciting new opportunity for a well re-nowned company please get in contact with me.
I am looking to place several ROV Pilots in the coming weeks, interviews take place in Norway next week, they can be conducted over the telephone if neccessary.
If this is of interest to you please send me your CV to d.budd@progressive.co.uk
I look forward to hearing from you.

ParticipantJust back from there, (Nigerian Delta)
The devil is in the detail
The questions you should be asking relate to where – exactly – the work is and what – specifically – are the details relating to security, i.e. gunboats, rules of engagement, nationality of the security personnel (Mercs) etc
It all boils down to the risk vs reward equation, everybody makes their own choice on this, is the reward enough for ME to justify the risk.
It’s all subjective, but it always is…anywhere…
If it doesn’t meet your risk / reward criteria, then just say no, there’s no need to worry about it – you can always say no

It’s all old news….Anything from this year?
Know for a fact that the stuff that happened / kicked off when we were there never made it onto the net…
But, give them their due, our "security" did the bizzo
It’s always the same there….
Like I say….just make sure you’re happy with the guys covering your back or don’t go
I prefer Nigeria to Angola any day, now that place IS a sh*te hole, with no one covering your back, cos it’s "safe"

February 7, 2009 at 6:09 am #21958Participant@Scotbeve: what is your point? 😀
Just some news dude (albeit older) for the guys to peruse. Especially guys whom may not be in the know.
February 7, 2009 at 6:11 am #21959ParticipantMonkey,
Haven’t looked lately…. Re: "Scott,
It’s all old news…. "February 7, 2009 at 6:17 am #21960ParticipantScott,
Agreed, any body thinking of going there needs to gen up on the place and what’s going on.
BUT
Every time there’s a mention of the place on the forum the same old same old knee jerk stuff is trotted out
It’s all very well posting this stuff – but how was it when you were there?I’m assuming you have been there?

Long ago, it’s stricken off my resume as well. Uh… one tends to be nervous whilst there if one hasn’t been in the SAS, Recon, Rangers,(take your pick)…

And that’s why, as I said above:

Yes indeed. I agree.
To all the guys / gals that have an inkling to go there, literally watch your back!
