Just been on a four week trip on a project in NZ.
Out of that...about a week of it was worked.
The rest consisted of sunbathing, trips to the boozer and watching movies.
Bad points to the trip.....sunburn, sore head and.....a small earthquake causing a large wave to hit the ship beam on in the early morning. Damaged the crane and the structure it was attached to on the sea bed and the mess it made in the galley when our breakfast took off across the tables and the cupboards spilled out!!!
All good fun

Well, since i started the thread i thought i'd better let you know how its going. Just got qualified in mpi/dp snt L2, ut snt L1 and rope.a L1. Ec pcn L1 next week then rgit and hopefully into a job a couple of weeks after. Must say i'm totally enjoying it and cant wait to get up in the clouds somewhere be it on or offshore. Defo a good move leaving the forces whilst i'm still young(ish).
All training is being done with Talon NDT and they're very good. Big thumbs up to Ian for running top notch courses. Looking to get a job with rbg but will settle for anyone that pays the right money.
And there's more NDT work than there is bod's to do it so if you're struggling to get a job then you've got the blinkers on.

Anyone here work for ndt/rope companies in aberdeen? I've got my c.v ready to go and could do with a few pointers as to who might be looking for people......or better still, the right person to talk to instead of leaving at the bottom of the pile with a receptionist...

I've heard Apache are looking for around 15 Techs, mostly Prodies to go 2 on 3 off. Depending on experience you'd be on around £40k + offshore allowance. Which from memory is around £12k?

That rotation sounds not too bad if its what you want.
I prefer longer trips for longer time off.
50K isnt too bad either, like you say, depends on what experience you need to have for that figure.
Anyone on here work for Sonsub???

Doug,
You are over qualified.
I can barely read or write.
The lotion application would only be a part time number since the weather isnt always nice. Right now the only job you could have would be bringing me a fresh towel to the Sauna.

Hi,
I am a student currently completing a PhD on safety in the offshore industry. I have carried out a questionnaire in one rig but unfortunately I am still short of participants to enable me to complete the study. I have found it particularly difficult to gain access to more rigs.
I wondered if any offshore workers, who have a spare 10 minutes would mind filling out a questionnaire for me. It is completely anonymous and confidential and would really help me complete my studies.
If so, please let me know and I can forward you the questionnaire.
Thank you for any help.

The thread you have brought back up is four years old. It can be quite quiet in this section. You might have more luck posting on the scottish section of
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/f...=0&f=118&mid=0
or
http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forum/11-scottish-scoobies/
Both have lots of off shore workers that i would imagine will be willing to help out.
