I can guarantee that they are good and genuine drilling rig jobs, or well paying jobs and cannot endorse any agency or drilling company, so it is up to you to verify your contract terms before accepting a job.

Be aware that even the drilling industry is doing it tough and jobs are not very plentiful for those who dont have a good track record. Look at the rig activity ticker and see what is happening.

Scam Alert I would caution anyone from using the Oilcareer.com and also similar or related websites for employment. I have had many emails from people complaining about this outfit. This website and company is somewhat dubious, and I know because I put them to the test as have several of my colleagues who decided to look for new drilling rig jobs. These were people with a superb 20 years plus offshore oil drilling and maritime backgrounds with past top jobs, history and background and they didn’t even get a response from this outfit.

These sites make a whole lot of very misleading claims that lead you to believe it’s easy to work offshore, and easy to get drilling rig jobs and they take your money and then they email shot or spam a whole bunch of companies with your CV/resume, who in general are unrelated to your discipline or target work area and then they simply never talk to you again after having done that.

If you are looking for drilling rig jobs it is much much better and cheaper to go and register on the other various oil rig employment websites, and also go to a real oil rig employment agency who supplies people according to specific project job vacancies. I have a couple of friends who are HR managers in the offshore drilling industry and they told me they don’t even open or look at the emails from companies like this, so you have been warned!

The fact is unless you go online and register your CV or resume many drilling contractors and offshore agencies will not even answer you, its that simple.

If you do register online with various agencies and some of the good free websites then agencies will often search those CV databases and contact you, I know because its happened many times to me many times. This website will give you all the information you need for FREE. So stay tuned for the latest drilling rig jobs here
