1 for the offshore boys on here

How did you get your 1st start offshore? I've been trying for nearly 3 years and hardly a sniff of a job. I've got all me tickets (Survival,medical,mist,banksman/slinging,rigging/lifting). Ive sent my cv to companies, agencies and followed them up with phone calls only to be told Ive got no offshore experience and it helps if you know someone. I know its an incestuous industry but this in ****ing ridiculous! Any help would be appreciated

ive worked offshore for the last 3 years, the way i did it was to work on marine based projects, was on the world island and al marjan island in the uae, keep my head down and never say no... then my old project manager got a offshore posting and i was in...

3 years in kazakstan wasnt ideal but the money more than made up for it...

Companies like Schlumberger, Halliburton, Qserv and Expro will take on trainees in their wireline / slickline divisions but the pay can be pretty dire until you get up the ladder a bit.

Cheers mate I'll look into that. Its just been a nitemare trying to get me foot in the door. I work with companies such as Subsea7, Technip, Global Marine and Gulf Offshore at the docks where I work but they not interesed. I applied for a Rigger job with Subsea7 but got turned down for not having 200 hours offshore experience even though I work for them when their ships are in dock

I work in pipeline inspection so offshore work is part of the job, know of heaps of jobs in Western Australia were offshore work is required but experience not a must (sometimes will be working on offshore islands so the pay is just as good).
