How to get an offshore drilling rig job?

The qualifications that you need to get an offshore drilling rig job depend on the position for which you wish to apply. With a high school diploma or GED certificate, you can get an entry-level job as a roustabout, assuming you have the physical skills to do manual labor. A toolpusher must have significant experience working on a rig. Mud loggers need a degree in geology, while drillers should receive technical training to operate a drill safely. All rig workers need to pass a Basic Offshore Safety Induction Emergency Training (BOSIET) course and earn a Transportation Workers Identity Card (TWIC).
