Location

Offshore Oil & Gas Rigs (Platforms, Drillships, FPSOs)

Employment Type

Rotational (e.g., 28 days on/28 days off)

Certifications Required
  • AWS D1.1 (Structural Steel) or ASME Section IX (Pressure Vessels/Piping)

Key Responsibilities
  • Critical Fabrication & Repair
    • Weld high‑stress components (e.g., risers, pipelines, rig structural supports) under variable weather/surface conditions.
  • Strict Compliance
    • Adhere to offshore safety protocols (e.g., PTW systems, gas testing, H2S awareness).
    • Follow rig‑specific procedures (e.g., hot work permits, simultaneous operations rules).
    • Weld high‑grade alloys (e.g., duplex stainless steel, Inconel) resistant to saltwater corrosion.
    • Address vibration/fatigue stresses unique to dynamic offshore structures.
  • Emergency Response
    • Act as part of the rig’s emergency team for urgent repairs (e.g., blowout preventer leaks).
  • Logistical Constraints
    • Work in confined spaces (e.g., ballast tanks, leg columns) with limited ventilation.
    • Manage limited consumables/equipment (no quick resupply).
  • Requirements

    Qualifications

    • 5+ years welding experience (preferably in oil/gas).
    • Offshore survival training (non‑negotiable).
    • Ability to pass random drug/alcohol tests (rig policy).
    • Training reimbursements (Employer responsibility when expire on job).
    • Insurance coverage (Employer responsibility).
