Oil Rig Jobs

Crane Operators are responsible for lifting and transferring heavy equipment, pipes, and materials across offshore platforms. Precision and safety are critical, as these operations take place in changing sea and weather conditions. Orion recruits crane operators with offshore certification and experience working on jack-ups, semisubs, and production platforms.

Completion Engineers design and implement well completion plans that optimise production and maintain well integrity. They oversee operations such as tubing installation, sand control, and well testing. Orion connects completion engineers to offshore projects where precision and technical expertise are key to maximising output and maintaining safety standards.

Derrickhands play a key role in drilling operations by managing mud systems, maintaining pumps, and monitoring drilling fluid properties. The position requires strong technical awareness and physical capability at height. Our team places experienced derrickhands on offshore and land rigs where reliability and quick problem-solving are essential.

Drilling Engineers plan and supervise drilling operations to ensure wells are delivered safely, efficiently, and within budget. They manage well design, equipment selection, and real-time problem-solving during operations. Orion works with drilling engineers across exploration and production phases, supporting roles both offshore and onshore.

Drilling Supervisors (or Toolpushers) oversee rig activities, managing the drilling crew, safety, and daily progress against project objectives. They ensure compliance with operational standards and environmental regulations. Orion recruits experienced supervisors for offshore rigs and platform-based drilling operations worldwide.

Offshore Electrical Engineers maintain and troubleshoot high-voltage systems, generators, and power distribution networks on rigs. They are essential to maintaining uptime and operational safety in harsh offshore environments. Orion places certified electrical engineers with strong offshore experience across drilling and production platforms.

Field Operations Managers coordinate rig activities, production schedules, and crew logistics. They balance cost, safety, and performance to ensure smooth day-to-day operations across multiple rigs or fields. Orion recruits experienced field managers who bring strong leadership and a track record in offshore production.

Offshore HSE Managers lead safety programs, conduct audits, and ensure compliance with international standards like ISO and OHSAS. They play a central role in protecting crew safety and environmental integrity on rigs. Orion supports energy companies by providing experienced HSE managers trained to maintain zero-incident operations offshore.

Instrument and Controls Engineers maintain and calibrate monitoring and automation systems that keep rig processes stable and efficient. They ensure safety-critical systems perform within strict parameters. Orion places I&C engineers on offshore projects where precision control supports drilling and production reliability.

Offshore Mechanical Engineers are responsible for maintaining and optimising heavy machinery such as pumps, compressors, and rotating equipment. They ensure the mechanical integrity of all systems supporting drilling and production. Orion connects mechanical engineers with offshore operators who value preventive maintenance and technical excellence.

Production Engineers monitor oil and gas output, diagnose bottlenecks, and recommend adjustments to improve performance. On rigs, they work with drilling and reservoir teams to optimise flow and reduce downtime. Orion places production engineers who combine strong technical knowledge with hands-on field experience.

Rig Electricians install, repair, and maintain electrical systems on drilling platforms, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to critical systems. They work on everything from lighting and motors to control panels and safety alarms. Orion recruits electricians qualified for offshore environments, helping keep rigs safe and fully operational.
