I'd quite like to get into Subsea Engineering, but haven't a clue how to do that without experience in the industry - does anybody have any suggestions on that front?
Up until recently Subsea7 were taking people from outside of the industry and training them as Subsea Engineers. Might be worth a root-around with the to see if it's still happening.hidetheelephants said:
I'd have thought having a geology degree would give you a shot at getting in as a mud-logger or some other dogsbody role; alternatively you could go back to school and get a masters in something relevant and then try for a graduate role.
1 Year MSc in a relevant subject would likely get a start in the industry. Cranfield, RGU, Heriot Watt etc...Gazzas86 said:

Colgy,
Just reviving your old thread rather than starting my own, how you finding ROV'ing since you left, Currently in my last 10 months and potentially have a start as an ROV PT Trainee with ROVOP next year.
Stick with it for the moment, there's a downturn coming fast.Just reviving your old thread rather than starting my own, how you finding ROV'ing since you left, Currently in my last 10 months and potentially have a start as an ROV PT Trainee with ROVOP next year.

One thing I would say is, don't bother doing an ROV course, doesn't guarantee you a job and if the company want you, they'll pay for it.
Exactly what my mate (ex bootneck vm) said about it and mentioned doing an hydraulics qualification with any resettlement. My day to day job (also a vm) isnt busy or technic enough so I'm starting to look outside too!Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
