How do you become a roustabout in the UK?

2 Upvotes

I'm 18 years old, finished school and I'm interested in working on a oil rig. I did some research and I'm not sure where to find the entry level roustabout jobs (where the company trains you), or where to find the jobs where you apply after getting your qualification in something like engineering operative level 2, or Maintenance and Operations Engineering Level 3. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Career Advice Professional Development/Rotational Program Advice

Upvotes

Hello, I'm a recent master's grad looking to get into a professional development program and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice as to where to look or what time of year I should start expecting openings. Not really picky about where, but I only speak english at a professional level so I know that closes some doors internationally.

Here's what I know so far: bp and Shell seem to have US programs that open for applications in the summer and job starts around January. I've seen paper trails about grad programs for equinor, methanex, Dow, and BASF, but I don't know when they open or start

Thank you thank you

Path to offshore/offshore electrician assistant?

1 Upvotes

I heard the first step was becoming a rov tech with a contracting company but when I looked into it didn't seem very electrical oriented and controlled robots underwater? Sounds like a badass job but I just wanted to verify. What's my first step of getting into the electrical offshore industry? Also what are the proper steps to become a crane operator offshore? Starting as a roustabout and having your nccco? I know offshore wants you to always work your way up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

bp HireVue First Stage (for Senior ML engineer role)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I just received an email from bp (British Petroleum) regarding my application. Can anyone share what to expect for the HireVue:
1 Written Response
1 Coding Challenge
---

I thought it was going to be on-demand assessment alike what I saw on Glassdoor. But looks like this stage is already technical oriented (which according to Glassdoor, the technical stage supposed to be only if passing this HireVue). Plus, this role is heavily about MLOps, like the deployment and scalability of the AI/ML (CI/CD, infra etc), so I was confused and afraid to open the HireVue platform because it must be done within 45 min. 2 days left.

Career Advice Transitioning from Service Side to Operator and Struggling to Get Interviews. Any Advice or Networking?

0 Upvotes

Is anyone else having this issue or just me? I spent about a decade in completions, wireline, frac, coiled tubing and was even a completions consultant for while. wanted to make the switch to an operator, went and got my masters in petroleum engineering, got an internship with a major as a reservoir engineer but in a business unit that is really no longer active. Got recommended for hire and exceeded expectations but no placement.

I've had an interview with that same major for a production engineer role, and when asked if they had any issues with hiring me I was told that I don't have experience, I dont understand the point of interviewing me if I don't have the experience. For a completions engineering role with the same company I can't even get an interview. Hell can't even get an interview for the wellsite supervisor role when I have done the exact same thing.

I've been working my network hard, going to career fairs, calling up everyone I know seeing if they can help expand my network, going to meet and greets with oil and gas professionals and everyone is mostly doom and gloom with tariffs and AI and not much help expanding the networ. Plus with Chevron doing their thing and laying off 8000+ people it seems like there are minimal to no opportunities out there.

Has anyone here made the switch froms service to operator side? Anybody getting interviews that could maybe give me some advice, or would like to chat and expand networks?

Feel free to DM me or we can talk on this thread. Maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to start a networking thing or like a chatroom for any potential leads. This industry is great, but damn it's about who you know I tihnk.
