I am 23 years old and looking for a trainee job or a deck crew in the oil and gas sector. I was in the Royal Navy for over 4 years as a Mine Warfare Specialist and as such, have experience with ROV’s and Sonar. I am currently studying IT support as well as working in retail for the time being and have had no luck in finding any jobs that suit my skills. I hope somebody can help me find what i’m looking for. I don’t have a Bosiet cert yet as I don’t want to pay all that money for me to be unsuccessful in finding any jobs and it doesn’t seem that the armed forces have endorsed any of these qualifications.
I got my BOSIET, MIST, MEDICAL , Ive been a mechanical technician for 16 years and a month of applying for every job going has led to nothing.
Just gotta keep beavering away and hopefully something will turn up eventually.
Be prepared for a lot of frustrating days and multiple applications to every company and agency going.
I have FOET, medical, some offshore experience, also as a ROV Pilot/Tech with Falcon (not much – 3 trips) and don’t see a possibility to back to underwater world. Trying and trying and so far nothing…. but believe that one day will get a possitive answer 😉
The oil and gas industry are booming right now and with worldwide demand for energy coming up against dwindling resources there is no end in sight. There are employment opportunities for people from all backgrounds with salaries from $50,000 to $200,000 and up even for people with no college degree.
