Offshore Oil Rigworker Jobs

Riggers

A rigger is anyone who attaches or detaches lifting equipment to loads or lifting devices on fixed offshore platforms. This is the next step up from the offshore Roustabout position. Offshore rigging jobs lead immediately into the Crane Operator position.

Crane Operator

The Crane Operator is responsible for all crane operations on board the rig. He is
foreman for the Roustabouts whom he supervises during loading and discharging
of supplies from the supply boats and during transfer of equipment on board the
rig. The Crane Operator must hold an Offshore Crane Operator Certificate and
have experience working as a Roustabout and Rigger.
