Trainee Pay Rates

Over a 12 month period on trainee rates I would have earned approx 35000 british pounds before tax working n sea for a company called fugro

Cant break it down as its a consolidated contract that guarantees 10 days offshore a month meaning you always get paid a set amount every month whether you are offshore or not. I was taking home just over 1800 after tax every month.

From what I hear fugro are average payers

Hope this helps

Not arguing.

Just answering the question.

Personally I’m happy with the money as it’s a career I want to continue in untill retirement.

I’ve just done my first 6 months and been promoted to pilot 4. I would now earn aporox 40k before tax at this level in a year.

However I should get promoted every 6 months up to pilot 1, each promotion is approx 5k extra per year. So in another 18 months I’ll be on approx 55-60k.

Not great money. But it is a career I want to do and once I I get past junior pilot and into sub eng/supervisor levels then the money (if that is your main concern) gets bigger and better

From one of the previous posts, a year ago Fugro in Aberdeen were paying a new start Trainee £16.5K salary / £90 per day offshore / £35 onshore a year ago.

As Teamonkey says, you generally get promoted 6 months after that and then every 6-12 months.

Unfortunately, ROV is one of the lower paid jobs offshore (but still above catering and cabin cleaning!).

Just out of interest Teamonkey, what kind of shifts are you working as a trainee? and also is all travel covered etc.. im currently on the hunt for a position and not too worried about the money, like you its a career im after! ive heard some places are 2/2 others 5/5 but wondered how it was as a trainee..
