Working and Living abroad thread

[LordSinister]

I'm an ROV supervisor.

Hell, for years I was a recording engineer/live sound engineer.

I went back to school and got a degree in electrical technology. While this helped me a lot cause I can troubleshoot the fuck out of the system combining my previous experience it wasn't necessary.

I'd apply for ROV as a tech if I were you. Make sure you apply to the AME region. If you go through the Houston office you will get fucked. The AME region trains in Ba-tam Indonesia for 9 weeks. The pay is shit, but hey lots and lots of bitches and bars there.

Starting pay for a junior tech is like $350-$450 per day. If you are in Africa you get an extra 50 for every country except Nigeria. You get an extra 100 a day for Nigeria.

They are really hurting for guys right now, so don't waste any time.

If they make you go through the Morgan city office, hold out for as much as you can. Guys with no experience start at $14.50 there. I started at $17 It might be higher now. Plus they have 401K in the states, I gave mine up to work here in Africa.

If you start at 16 you will gross about $3,400 every 2 weeks, now compare that to 400 a day times 14. $5,600 every 2 weeks plus $700 for in country. The 401K closes the gap some, but once you start getting promoted like I did you will be pissed off.

I wouldn't mind going overseas but my problem is i have a B.A. in psychology and i don't see anything that i could apply for.

[militantmidget]

pretty much any of your skills will translate. Hell, I was a recording/sound engineer for years and I didn't have a problem converting those skills into the field I am in now.

I tell everyone to check rigzone.com for a start. They list a lot of companies that are hiring, and all you need to do is match your skills up with the jobs listed.

They need people from deck hands/roustabouts to drillers, geologist, sub sea engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers to project management. Fuck if you can weld, drive a fork lift or run a crane you can get a job offshore or in the oil business right now.

The dude I'm training is a local Angolan, and his math skills are probably at 5th grade us. Maybe. And I'm just trying to tech him basic transformer theory and how Ohms law works so he doesn't kill himself when we have to test gear.

I'll find the Chevron/BP job sites for Angola when I have a chance. Cats that work for them directly fly charter straight to Angola from Houston. I've been on the flight a few times and it's way better than the way I travel.

Im grateful to your insight on this subject matter so much brotha. We need more of this type of knowledge for the board. Money to be made in places other than America gentlemen.

Let's get it.

I cant think of a single job that will pay you 100k straight out of the blocks with just a BS in BA. The golden years of contractors working for KBR, Dyncorp, ITT etc in Iraq, Kuwait are pretty much gone. Most of the guys who get the jobs now are the ones who have worked overseas before, and have connections (through military connections).

 

[cincitystudios]

yeah I heard of dynacorp and kbr... so they aren't who I need to look at then. I was more so wanting to know what type of job I could apply for... Logistics seems to be the only one my skills fit.

The last tour I had in Iraq was last year (left last August) I had a friend that was working for ManTECH. I knew her when I was in the military, and was working logistics in Baghdad. Her job was to process repair parts for shipment back to the States and Afghanistan. She was clearing over 200k just to pack and ship parts. But like I said, because of the draw-down, even jobs in logistics are becoming scarce.

I was just looking at ITT website, and if you're willing to travel, heres a job in China that's in the logistics field. The key thing about doing contracting work overseas, is that once you get in the system, you could move around, and find additional opportunities.

I am in Afghanistan working as a trainer for the (ANA) Afghan National Army.
We have interpreters and security with us at all times. I have been doing this since 2007-2008 (Kuwait) and 2009-present (Afghanistan).

There are many logistics and trainer jobs available.

Tip: Taylor your resume to fit the job description. Military experience definitely a plus, but isn't always required. Education varies depending on military experience.

Sorry I never answered you man.

I'm an ROV supervisor and I work offshore/onshore shipyards on drill ships, boats and Oil Rigs.

Right now shit is booming. A qualified cat can break in at 450-600 a day as a technician. Shit is booming so much now i might even leave my spot cause the other companies are offering way too much cash now. Angola/Ghana and west Africa are booming right now and there is a lack of qualified personnel.

My homie said that guys with my experience can pull in up to a grand a day. Gotta check into that before I make a move cause I'm really happy at my current company.

bro is a bs or a tech degree required for this job.. how hard is the training..? i hate school

Okay I got an Exercise Science degree. Would this be the route I would likely take also? Or is there some other options out there.

Ls i did some research and i dont see myself to school and becoming a engineer.. Its not realistic for me.. What kind of training can i get without a degree to land even a basic job in the oil field as far as im working in nigeria..

 

[FUCKYOU]

A lot of international work offshore has people that speak multiple languages. Only us dumb ass Amercians only speak one. I grew up in LA, so I speak a little Spanish. I also now a small amount of French. In Africa, besides English and Portuguese, these are the languages that will help you.

Plus I got Rosetta stone from BGOL and I'm trying to practice. I just ahve jumped to so many places (Korea, Singapore, Angola, Norway etc) as soon as a learn enough to be cordial, I end up moving. However, I have long term visas for west Africa, so I should be here for the next few years. Hopefully I'll pick up enough to be fluent.

In Nigera and a lot of places in west Africa, a engineering degree would pay off in the long run. If you want to be offshore, you just have to figure what you want to do, and then go towards that. The thing is, you play your cards right, you can move from offshore to onshore and don't get stuck out here for life. I actually enjoy the half time rotation and the pay, so I'm going to try and max out as Superintendent offshore, then if I get tired of the life, just consult and get paid for knowledge.

LS, ANY INFO OR ADVISE ON THESE ENTRY LEVEL OIL JOBS???


What Are The Entry Level Jobs On Oil Rigs?
Entry level jobs on oil rigs include labor, maintenance, medical housekeeping and support
by Calvin Loh

Are you looking for jobs on oil rigs? When you do not have any experience in this industry, finding a job looks as tough as climbing Mount Everest. However, just a little bit of knowledge, preparation and hard work can do wonders. Like any other industry, you need to start at the bottom to get in. For a start, here is a list of entry level offshore rig jobs.
1. Roustabout
Roustabouts are general laborers. They provide the brawn and handle most of the heavy lifting and cleaning. They mostly work on the main deck of the oil rig. When necessary, they may be asked to help the roughnecks on the drill floor. Salaries range from $45,000 to $55,000 a year. The next step up from roustabout is roughneck.
2. Steward
This is another unskilled entry level position. The steward helps out in the kitchen, cleans up the accommodations and does the laundry. If they do their jobs right and make an effort to improve themselves, they may eventually find themselves becoming a cook or camp boss themselves. This is one of the lowest paying jobs on an oil rig, at only $45,000 per year.
3. Rig Welder
Welders carry out the day-to-day repairs on an oil rig. They also build new metalwork when necessary. When there is a big project, the oil services contractor will hire additional welders for the duration of the project to speed up its completion. Unlike roustabouts, welders may need some form of trade certification (CITB in the UK, AWS in the US). These certifications are rigorous and need to be renewed regularly. Typical salaries are around $60,000. Compare this to the average salary in the manufacturing sector - $30,000 based on 2004 statistics.
4. Scaffolders
Scaffolders move from rig to rig as needed. Some oil companies require their scaffolders to hold a trade certification. Unlike roustabouts, their work is done high up on the oil rig. When comparing the different jobs on a rig, this is one of the more dangerous ones, which explains why they can easily earn up to $60,000 per year. Compare this to the construction industry's rate of $7 per hour.
5. Radio Operator
Generally considered an easy and boring job, especially by those who handle the more back-breaking labor on an oil rig. On the other hand, it is a vital job, which explains the $60,000 salary.
6. Medic
Usually ex-nurses, responsible for the sick bay and medical supplies. Salary: up to $70,000.
7. RSTC (Rig Safety and Training Coordinator)
Required qualities:

Good communications
Good organizational skills
Computer skills
Knowledge of offshore safety laws
Knowledge of company policies

This post has a lot of responsibility, which explains the $80,000 salary for an entry level job. On the other hand, on some rigs, it can quickly become a mid or senior position - especially after a major accident, e.g. after the Alexander Kielland platform collapsed in 1980, or the explosion on Piper Alpha in 1988. Both were in the North Sea.
8. Mud Logger/Engineer
One of the few positions needing a university degree - usually a BSc in Chemistry. Responsible for the drilling fluids used, installing equipment and collecting samples during ongoing drilling. Their most important duty is probably to monitor the level of dangerous gasses which can cause the well to blow. This is why there are always 2 mud loggers - to cover the rig 24/7. Those who do well are quickly promoted to data engineer within a 1/2-year to 2 years. Salary? $70,000 - $80,000.
9. Storeman
Maintains the stores, orders and receives stocks. Needs to know how to use the computer. Unlike the comfortable post of an army storeman, an oil rig storeman may need to check incoming cargo even in the middle of the night. Salary: $60,000.
10. Painter
He paints the oil rig. This is not a job for someone afraid of heights. Some of those painting jobs need to be done while suspended from a harness hoisted by a crane. Considering how much iron and steel there is on an offshore oil rig, surrounded by all that salt water - there is always something which needs painting. Salary: $58,000.
11. Motorman
Helps the mechanic to maintain and repair all the machines, including the diesel generators and rig floor equipment. Like the painter, some of their repairs will be done suspended from a crane. Salary: $58,000.
12. Electrician
Maintains and repairs the electrical equipment on the oil rig. This includes changing the light bulbs. Like the painter and mechanic, some of his work will be done while hanging from a crane. Salary: $65,000.

These 12 jobs are generally considered entry level jobs on oil rigs. The roustabout and steward only needs minimal education, and does not require any kind of trade certification. The other positions need you to show some trade skill, or need a diploma (electrician) or degree (mud engineer).

 

[LordSinister]

I think I get you ... do your coworkers and superiors speak english at work?

Right now I'm on a Norwegian vessel, with Angolans, South Africans, Scottish, Filipinos, etc. Most of the people speak some english.

My personal crew consists of 2 Angolans, a Australian, a guy from Trinidad, and a guy from Florida. The rest of the crew is from Brazil, the UK, Mississippi and Colorado.

 

[LordSinister]

As far as the jobs you posted FU, depends on your skill set and the company.

Diamond offshore was paying electricians about 28 an hour, but including the ot for the 12 hour shifts, you were making way more that what they posted here.

If you are an ET, and can program a PLC, you can start at 100K plus.

If you don't now how to do shit, Roustabout is a cool job to start at, but they will work the shit out of you. If you're serious, I'd learn to weld. It's hard work, but you get to build and repair shit. Not just paint, lug and lift shit and clean up.
