What should I do? I have CDC and after completing BE, I would like to go for oil rig.

Advances in technology make oil rigs safer places to work. Nonetheless, having certificates and on the job training are essential. Oil rig workers must learn how to reduce the risk of death and injury when working on high platforms, handling combustible chemicals and operating heavy equipment. At a minimum, all oil rig workers complete Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training. BOSIET is a survival course that the Offshore Petroleum Industry Training organization has approved. BOSIET certificates are valid for four years.Job Description: The Bureau of Labor Services estimates that 151,000 rig employees work in the gas and oil extraction industry, as of April 2018. Most jobs on an oil rig are directly involved with the extraction of gas and crude oil from deep within the earth. Petroleum engineers, geophysicists, and technicians analyze samples and make recommendations for drilling sites on land or in the ocean. Derrick operators, rotary drill operations and service unit operators rig and maintain derrick equipment used to drill wells and tap underground gas and crude oil. Wellhead pumpers watch pressure gauges on powerful pumps used to pipe natural resources to the surface. Roustabouts fix equipment and assist with maintenance. Large offshore rigs may also hire support personnel such as cooks, medics and housekeepers. Education With the exception of geoscientists and engineers, oil and gas extraction workers do not need formal education. Certificates and on-the-job training are more important. Some technical schools offer oil rig training that covers OSHA regulations, rigging safety, winching and laying pipe that can help newcomers land a job in the gas and oil industry. All offshore oil rig workers must complete a three day Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training programme. BOSIET teaches safety regulations, first aid, and proper use of hazardous materials, crisis response and skills for traveling in helicopters to and from oil rigs. Employers may also require Helicopter Underwater Emergency Training (HUET), which is a one-day course focused on how to escape from a helicopter during an emergency water landing. A Further Offshore Emergency Training (FOET) is available for those wanting to learn advanced survival skills and firefighting techniques. Salaries are high due to the demands and risks of working on rig installations Employees in the gas and oil extraction industry earn an average wage of $46 per hour.
