Looking For Roustabout Vacancies?

These are the companies you need to apply to.

Roustabout vacancies are not often advertised. Instead, oil industry (drilling, exploration contractor) companies use employment agencies. You need to make sure your CV is with these companies and agencies.

You can also apply to companies that employ Roustabouts.

Not all oil industry companies employ Roustabouts. Finding those that do from the many hundreds of oil industry companies that don't is hard without our website. For example, did you know that BP do NOT employ Roustabouts. Transocean on the other hand do employ Roustabouts.

The companies on our website employ Roustabouts or are employment agencies that regularly have Roustabout vacancies, even if they do not always display them on their website.

If you are looking for a job board displaying lots of open Roustabout positions, you will not find it.

Remember, the oil industry does things differently. If you want a Roustabout job you are just going to have to send your CV off to all the companies and agencies that employ Roustabouts. See our Resource list (top left).

Be persistant. Keep sending in your CV. That way, they will know you are keen. Your CV then has a better chance of landing on the desk on a day when the employment department can not find someone to fill a position.

Finally, getting to know the industry will greatly help your chances of finding work. This is why some people get jobs and others who are just as capable do not. It is a fickle business and can be frustrating for those who know they are good enough but just can not get that first break. How are you going to get to know the industry? Get this book. and read this site regularly.
