Offshore work
Is anyone a big important offshore boss that can get me a sparky job?
 I've just done my BOSIET course and I'm sending out CV's to all the companies I can find. Really need to find a job soon. If anyone does work offshore any companies/info would be much appreciated

Re: Offshore work
Plus all the wind farms going up too, which don't always require spending loads of time off shore, although depends on your contract and the job.
There an old ferry being used to house workers off shore near me. Saves having to bring them back & forth every day

Re: Offshore work
Yep I'm just hoping my c.v. lands in someone's inbox at the right time. I know a few people on the rigs but none in a position to help me get a job unfortunately.

Re: Offshore work
What electrical qualifications do you have? PM me if you like.
I work in a management role offshore with a fair bit of weight behind me, we have quite a few jobs available at the moment but the competition is extremely tough, it really depends what level of role you are looking for.

Re: Offshore work
The roles we have are basic entry level roles, the pay is a bit rubbish to start with (between £22k to £24k), however after your initial training (6 to 8 weeks living in) you can make a bit in overtime and allowances, and the opportunity to progress is however massive.
