All I here on these forums is how nobody can get a start offshore well heres a job for you guys its in holland the moneys **** (for offshore)its through an agency for cape and having worked there myself im telling you if you can blag the job you`ll be alright no matter how little tube+fitting exp you have I mean there is some real cowboys out there that should`nt be!!!

thanks

you say money is ....wat you mean by that,how .... is it,thanks mate for imfo,,
 
money

well the money is around 600aweek it you spread it out over the 1month with no perks like hoilday pay shuttling money which there is alot of shuttling 2 sat rigs which you should get paid £65 aday for shuttling 2 and from rigs but you dont get it some1else pockets it.
Its about 30000 ayear which compared 2 the north sea of 45-50k ayear after tax you can see the diff but its agood start for offshore do ayear out there and the north-sea companys will take notice of yor cv more.Oh 1 more thing there is no 14hour days you only get the flat 12 hours which is unheard of for offshore it was the first job I worked on offshore where ther was no 14teens!!!

why the f"ck lads work for these companies is beyond me...just like being had over for money with agencies on the beach....if they are offshore then they should fall under the oca agreement. more than likely they will be pocketing the shuttling money rather than passing it on the men...absolute joke...
 
Mcdonalds r busy at the minute offshore and they have got nigg kickin off within the next couple of weeks.

i worked for these micky mouse outfit, got told to take my own ppe ffs. The job its self is on the sea fox 2 which is a complete f****** dump the food is crap and the money is crap. Suppose its ok if your trying to get your foot in the door but for lads that have been offshore before its a no go area i did 1 trip and never went back. Hope this helps
 
Wtf is happening in the north sea? Apparently loadsa work but no one seems to have the contracts been repeatedly phoning the big players but they all say their quiet. Any info of anything coming up would be great lads cheers in advance
