Apprenticeships..

Hi guys,

I'm finishing college soon and have been looking and applying at multiple apprenticeships which have been advertised online in mechanical, electrical and engineering trades. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with company's local to Essex which offer them but might not be registered online?

Many thanks

Jack

What did you do at college?

You could try and get an apprenticeship with a drilling contractor (you may need to be 1

like odfjeli drilling, north atlantic drilling, archer the well company, transocean or ensco.
There are also service companies like Halliburton, schlumberger, nov, oceanering, aker.

These will all mean some travel and rotational working but you'll get 2-3 weeks off every couple of weeks to play with your defender

Schlum are an excellent company to work for. Once in, the career opportunities are only limited by your own potential. Good salaries and the opportunity to see the world.
