Experience matters

Azur Oil values people with all types of trade and qualifications.
But offshore positions are often quickly filled by applicants with previous experience working on a rig.

If you have no previous experience then you can demonstrate your commitment to offshore work by applying for a roustabout position.

Once you know about daily life on a rig, you’ll be in a better position to be our next staff.

How do I get offshore experience when no one will hire me without offshore experience?

Since entry level positions are very competitive, our recruiters are often asked this question.

If you have a trade background but no offshore experience, we recommend you first work for a service company, and then after gaining some experience, you will be more likely to be hired for a permanent rotational position with Azur Oil.
