Anybody work offshore in oil or gas ?
Thinking of getting into the Industry. I'm doing a Ultrasonic Testing course at the The Welding Institute in Middlesborough next month.
Just wondered what people's experience's of the industry are Thanks in advance Liam |
Why offshore ? There are many more opportunities to be had without going offshore. Get yourself a full SPI ticket and go work abroad on the pipelines where you can earn really good money.

The course with the training the extra training exam package has cost me £2300 and at the end of it i will have PCN level 2 in ultrasonic testing of welds. |
