Any forum members working on the rigs?

Is that part of the Boulby mine or further south between Whitby and Scarborough.

Bit off topic I know but I have a vested interest as some of my work is involved with Boulby.

5 or 6 miles north of scarborough they had a big drilling caper going on(next to the flask inn),they have moved it now but apparently it spreads all under the north york moors and well into the north sea.I am not sure where the main setup is going to be.

Watching this with Interest.

I'm an electrician and did my offshore survival back in 2009 when the company I worked for (EIC ltd) went down hill. A mate got me on the course at fleetwood for next to nothing.
I started looking for offshore work and realised very quickly I would need compex.

Shortly after this I landed a contract fitting out two big name restaurants and my interest in offshore work was put on hold, until recently. I'm currently fitting out a restaurant in Aberdeen and its surprising how geared up toward the offshore industry the place is.

Compex is the key hear and you already have that so get your offshore survival/mist done and just keep plugging away at agencies etc.
It's a case of having the qualifications and being in the right place at the right time.
Also let it be known you will be willing to do an offshore trip in any post, that way you gain the all important experience.

I might get my compex done and join you in the hunt

Keep me posted on your progress.

By the way the offshore survival course is fantastic fun, especially the helicopter under water escape technique

You worked for EIC? what office were you based out of? I used to do a lot of work for EIC when i had my company mainly commercial, tescos M&S ect.
I heard they shut down a few offices following the recession.
The last job i did for them was in late 2009.
I will certainly keep you updated on progress im going to sort out the survival course asap and continue firing out cvs!

I work on drilling rigs, in my experience the best way for a new man to get in is through an agency or service company.
Have seen many guys starting through agency on installation jobs then maybe being in the right place at the right time and getting a permanent position.
As you have your compex it would be good to play up any petrochemical experience and you might get a few trips doing inspections etc.
We had guys on doing installation work in Invergordon that had no experience through agency's like Byron and Global
Depends on what you're after, floating about installation work or permanent maintenance?

I would be happy to start with any type of position, My cousin works onshore and he has said the best thing to do is move up to Aberdeen and start networking, i am considering this very seriously.
