How to become an offshore rigger?

The qualifications that you need to start a career as an offshore rigger vary, but the Basic Offshore Safety Instruction and Emergency Training (BOSIET) certification is usually required. Employees may need to pass a medical exam to certify that they are fit to work at sea. Common duties of an offshore rigger are to monitor, inspect, move, or operate heavy equipment and machinery on an oil rig. Many people in this role start by developing their skills and experience in an entry-level roustabout or roughneck position.
