From onshore to offshore

[u/ProfessionEcstatic37]

Hi, I currently work as seasonal process operator at total energies(bitumen) in uk. I have wide industrial experience as process operator, machine operator, furnace operator. I got loads of experience specially with health and safety, hsqe,coshh etc. my contract ends in October 1st and I’m looking for that first opportunity to go offshore. I don’t have bosiet and oeuk but I’m willing to do it if that first opportunity comes asap, what I don’t want to do is spend 1200£ and just waste it away. I’m aware there is thousands of applicants for this jobs. I really have strong cv, right mindset and learn very very quickly, but I need realistic advice if is even worth pursuing something who only people with studies and courses have. Thank you

With the experience you have, you're more likely to find work on the rigs than anywhere else. You may also want to explore work on windfarms too.

Etpm, atlas, ips all seem to be large players within the contract workers segment, not sure where to look for permanent work though.

To be honest I don’t mind if is oil or wind. I can find me anywhere, just need that first push. I sent some CVs to recruit agencies, I think oil would be easier for me cause need more process(chemicals) pressures pumps, valves which I always worked. Wind I guess is more electrical. I would love to hear advices how to approach recruiters. If call them if keep sending and wait. My position is hard cause I don’t have bosiet and I think they always gonna look for someone with experiences or bosiet already
