The Latest oil-rig-employment and shipping jobs

OIL-RIG-EMPLOYMENT - ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MARITIME EMPLOYMENT? OR STARTING A NEW CAREER? IT’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME

The latest rig-employment and jobs supplied by selected agencies for suitably qualified and experienced Marine Electrical and Electronics personnel and Marine Engineering personel

The bottom line is that it is not as easy as some oil-rig-employment and shipping sites would have you believe, that you can simply just walk onto an offshore installation into a new job.

Offshore installations are dangerous places, safety is what we all live and breathe, and it is not a training ground for someone who doesn’t have basic oil-rig-employment qualifications.

In general people with a relevant trade in mechanical or electrical or electronics discipline can sometimes get a start, however experienced hands is what most companies chase. It is up to you to present yourself in the best way possible and let companies start you off.

Before you work on or get oil-rig-employment on offshore installations you will have to have a current offshore Medical Certificate (the requirements vary between countries here).

You will need a current Offshore Survival Certificate and probably a Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) Certificate without which you don’t get to fly offshore and start your job. This rule is unbreakable and while some companies may invest this in you before you go the fact is most will not, so invest in it yourself if you want a new job.

When you get a job offer

When job offers come they generally entail rapid mobilization of just days if not hours. If you want to have the chance to take up these jobs you need to have your passport with at least 6 months validity, a current medical certificate (in UK this is ENG1), current vaccinations, STCW required survival and for offshore oil-rig-employment, a current HUET certificate, for US based cruise ship positions the right Visa and last of all have your bag packed ready to go.

Ships must, by maritime law, be manned with appropriately qualified and competent seafarers, and that is what STCW 95 is all about.

If the maritime employment website can’t show real vacancies chances are they aren’t filling any. If a website offers you a job finding prospect without offering a specific vacancy, especially in the Cruise liner market or selling you a guide to employment then exercise caution as you will probably lose the money without any real gain or job opportunity.

Commercial shipping is a very tightly regulated industry that must conform to international and national standards and which include navigation, engineering, operations, ship construction, equipment, safety, radio communications, pollution prevention, security, manning levels, and seafarer qualifications and training.

International standards are defined by a United Nations Agency called the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The IMO convention dealing with seafarer qualifications and training is known as STCW which stands for Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers.
