Oil And Gas/Mining Industry. Canada, OZ, Middle East, Africa ect

[Flacco]

So... I'm 28. I'm an Ironworker in NYC. Been working on the World Trade Center for the past couple of years. My job finished a couple months ago. I decided to take a year off to visit my family in Thailand. Every day, I consider staying here more and more. I think this is where I want to be. Trouble is, the Job market in Thailand isn't very foreigner friendly. I know alot of guys that live here and work in Oil/gas or Mining in other countries. I'm looking to get into either. I'll shovel shit, clean toilets, work in a kitchen washing dishes. Anything to get my foot in the door. I'd love to be doing something physical though. I can get recomendations from my forman/old boss'/the heads of my Union ect. I was hoping someone on here could at least give me some advice on how to break into the industry. I'm a very hard worker. Take pride in doing a good job and busting my ass all day. Unfortunatly, I don't know any welding, and I only have experience with Iron/steel work. Willing to start at the bottom. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Please PM me if you have any solid advice and could possibly put me in contact with someone who knows someone. Thnks all

Look on rigzone dot com.

Plenty of Oil and Gas jobs there.

Also, look in the area you are wanting to target and see if there is any activity going on. See what operators are drilling in the area. If the Keystone Pipeline thing commences, there will be plenty of jobs.

Rig zone would be your best bet bro. Or a lot of offshore companies list current available positions on their websites which you can apply for right there.

I've been working on land rigs for around 5 years and have thought a couple times about going offshore/overseas. Not all, but quite a few require certain certifications, and x amount of experience even for lower end positions. All you can do is apply

Yeah, I read about all the problems you guys are having in OZ with scabs/foreign/unskilled workers taking all your jobs. I'd be sour too. Or are you one of those scabs too? I'm trying to hop on that train myself

Do you know off hand what Certs/Qualifications/courses I'd have to take just to get my foot in the door as far getting a job as a roughneck/roustabout? Any idea how much the courses cost? Are the certs good internationally? I know I'll have to start at the bottom. No ego here.
