Loads in Aberdeen.
Check out yell.com
Depending what you want to do, fire me your CV and I will pass it on to friends who work in HR (Managers) for two large oil companies.

Just sat through a presentation by Schluberger, very unimpressed to say the least. The HR manager basically said you'll be fecked about for 2-3 years with no fixed working pattern and no garuantees. Annual salary of £15000 + £40 / day offshore.
You have to relocate to Abz too....
Seriously unimpressed.

I'm interested in an offshore job, pref 2on 2off/3on 3off etc. Could you pass my CV on too pls? Happy to be fecked about for a little while for training, etc but I then want a regular shift.

I need to be based in Preston, I need a bit of stability. So if they work long shifts then yes! I'll consider anything.
I've got to move in with her sometime... It's been 7 years FFS!
If only I could make a living fixing Elises

What's wrong with Aberdeen?
Seriously, that doesn't sound like a good deal.
We (Vetco) are currently looking for mechanical fitters (onshore based) and offshore service hands. Send me your CV if you're interested and I'll pass it on to my HR (bounty scheme so if you get a job I also get cash!).
I'll also ask Nicola about vacancies with Halliburton.

Cool, I'll sort it out and pass it on. I've just realised that it's full of Military pish, so I'll re-hash it a bit so it makes more sense...
