Future bro-inlaw wants a new job, he is an electrician and has industrial license. HE needs a steady paycheck with benefits. Tired of the odd job stuff and the home building/wiring dried up almost a year ago. Where would he start looking ? sorry if this is a dumb ? |

http://www.rigzone.com/jobs/search_job_results.asp Mud, i would suspect that a man with a liscense could find work in the oil patch pretty easy right now., assuming that he has a fairly clean background, a strong back, and is willing to travel. I have posted a link rigzone, which is a good place to start. My company (transocean) and several others are building some rather large drillships in S Korea right now, some other companies are building semi-subs in Singapore also. Look for Transocean Pride International Stena Noble Ensco Sea Drill Maersk and so on. Hope it helps |

If you are willing to work over the oceans you can find work in the patch almost any time. The shelf and land drilling pretty much shut down. I know at the start of last month the rig report showed over 50% less rigs than last year on land and the shelf. If you are looking for a local ( I mean something that you don't have to move for) job, ther are few openings. If you don't mind staying in New Orleans Mon-Fri Louisiana Natural Gas Services out of Lafayette are hireing. They have a big contract in NO and just signed one in Covington. They lay gas lines. |
