Робота на морській нафтовій платформі (Offshore Rіg).
   Працюйте на нафтовій платформі і заробляйте мінімум $2800 на місяць!

   На відміну від інших галузей промисловості, у нафтових компаніях більша текучість кадрів, тому там завжди є вільні робочі місця. Вони доступні будь-кому, хто бажає працювати і заробляти. Якщо у Вас є досвід роботи в нафтовій промисловості - це дуже великий плюс для Вас. Але навіть якщо у Вас немає досвіду і кваліфікації - не проблема! Все це Ви зможете одержати на нафтовій платформі.

   Де ж розташовані нафтові платформи? Вони розсіяні по світу, але найбільша концентрація їх зосереджена в Мексиканській Затоці та вздовж узбережжя Каліфорнії. Інші активні області - Канада, Аляска, Південна Америка, Північне Море, Східна Африка та Схід.

   Є три типи компаній, що працюють на відстані від берега:
   Діючі компанії (звичайно більші нафтові корпорації), які мають ліцензію на буріння та керують роботою нафтових платформ.
   Бурильні компанії, які за контрактом виконують буріння.
   Компанії, які забезпечують перераховані вище компанії фахівцями і робітниками. Це і сейсмічні фірми, водолази, дослідники дна і т.д., а також компанії-постачальники.

   Які професії задіяні на нафтовій платформі?
   Нижче перераховані (за абеткою) основні типи професій для роботи на нафтовій платформі - деякі з них надані з коротким описом роботи, деякі не вимагають опису - вони самоочевидні. Для більшості із них кваліфікація не потрібна - у Вас є реальний шанс працювати на цих позиціях!
