Rig welding jobs pay about $62,000 a year. This is more than double the average salary of welders in the producing industry – good news as more production jobs move overseas. Even if this can be your first oil rig job, you still have an opportunity to get hired.
The oil industry is always looking to hire qualified rig welders – the key point being’qualified’. Of course, it helps to be certified, whatever that suggests in your jurisdiction.
In the UK, some oil corporations need their welders to be licensed up to’6 GR’ by CITB ( previously known as city and Guilds ).

To be successful in seeking offshore employment, you must be willing to do what average and ordinary people are not willing to do. First of all, there’s likely to be travel involved with your job.
