Helpful Tidbits about finding employment in the Oil Industry

Positions are usually available in both exploration and production. Positions may include: shop tech, sales, clerical, mechanical, welder, roustabout, truck drive, electronic tech, operator assistant, seismic, crane operator, concrete finisher, and mud logger.

- The industry is cyclical by nature and depends a lot on current political activities, price per barrel, supply & demand, etc. There will be times when the industry is experiencing layoffs and or hiring freezes.
- When searching for oil field employment try to create a plan. Most companies are busy and it can be hard at times to walk in off the street and expect an interview. Make contacts and set-up interview appointments before visiting the region.
-Most positions are labor intensive and involve outdoor work in all weather conditions.
- Minimum age restrictions may be 18 or 21 years old.
- Drug testing is required in the hiring process and performed randomly on the job.
- Most positions require a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
- Some companies may require a background check upon application.
- Some require a commercial driver's license (CDL), or the ability to acquire one.
- Company work schedules may vary, e.g. 4 days on/4 days off; 7 days on/7 days off; 2 weeks on/1 week off with pay. Significant overtime hours may be available. It is important to check with the company regarding work schedules.
- In limited circumstances, housing may be provided. Some companies provide a daily per diem for meals.

If you have no skills, at the LEAST you can go up there and get same job as in service industry elsewhere and be paid a lot more. But if you have a truck license, or you can get as little as six months experience working as a roustabout or whatever, you're good as gold.

Obviously anyone with initiative can just go up there and work his way into the oil industry.

Alternatives to Oil jobs in the Bakken

Alternatives to Oil field work. Jobs that are in VERY high demand in the Bakken area that pay just as good or BETTER than oil patch workers. Observations from my trip to Dickinson:


1) Railroad workers (massive rail expansion for oil transportation)
2) Carpenters-metal framers
3) Roofers
4) Drywall workers
5) Diesel Mechanics (huge demand)
6) Auto Mechanics (ditto)
7) Shop Fabrication Welders (unbelievable demand for Welders)
8) Doctors
9) Dentists
10) Hairstylists
11) Waitresses (many making $1000 a wk in tips)
12) Electricians
13) Plumbers
14) Anything Metal Fabrication related (machinist, CNC operators etc)
15) Drug Screening sample collectors-lab workers
16) Utility workers-linemen, telephone, TV sat installation etc
17) Bartenders (these people like to drink)
18) Police ---to keep the drinkers in check
19) Social workers
20) Nurses
21) Anything medical related
22) Surveyors
23) Strippers-exotic dancers
24) Cooks
25) Carpet cleaners (everyplace needs a shampoo)
26) Office workers as in secretary, schedulers etc
27) Travel planners

There are many more but these are the signs and want ads from my notes. The easiest jobs to get that don't involve working outside in the freezing cold are shop welders, metal fabricators anything metal related. Numerous modern shops all over the place with huge signs up that say things like "ARE YOU COLD YET?"" OUR SHOP IS HEATED & MODERN COME INSIDE FOR THE WINTER. Pay is very competative.

Perhaps ohgolly will inform me if I have made this dumb and simple enough that a retard / Southerner can understand it.

Railroads need welders also and I know these guys are union and get around $26.00/hr and are part of the Federal Railroad workers pension instead of Social Security. Field construction work is even higher if it's pipe. Storage tanks are huge here and that's all you see driving down the road on heavy wideload trucks. They park about 3 to 5 of these next to an oil well and the tanker trucks come and drain them for transportation to the railyard tankers who then ship them on miles long train off to some refinery somewhere.
At least I think that's how it's done. Not very efficient but with no pipelines available, this is how it has to be done for now. These are large corporations also. Not sure if the moderators will let me list them but here are some names I saw with brand new fab shops in Dickinson:

Steffes Corp
Leam
Ferellgas
Stallion
SolarBee
MBI Energy
Contex Energy
Fischer
Marathon
Halliburton
+ many others that speicalize in heavy equipement repair and modification

Benefits most likely start at day one like health, dental eye, 401K etc. Huge potential for promotion to the right person from what I heard. If you can speak well, are not covered in jailhouse tats up to your neck, can pass a criminal background check, have internet office skills or have any type of college, you'll probabaly be promoted very fast.

The only monkey wrench in all of this is the lack of housing. [As Craig said]

What I draw from this is that there's a damn good opportunity here for:

- anyone in a trade who can't get a job in his own area
- or who can't get a well paid in his own area
- anyone young who just needs a job period
- anyone who wants to move up quickly, get promoted
- anyone who wants to get in on the ground floor
- anyone who wants to get trained - some places it's hard to be an apprentice or get into an area at all

This is, in 2013, about as good as it gets in the USA.

Fisher Industries Home

One more I forgot to add was anything to do with aggregates like gravel, asphalt, concrete and the machinery that produces this stuff. This is a HUGE growth industry. The link above had a large billboard in front of thier factory looking for welders. Welders seem to be the highest in demand. I assume the competition is so fierce that the pay has to be rising very fast. You don't like where you work, you can quit at 9:00 AM and have a new job by lunch time. I'm not making this up.

Just because they don't list a job on thier web site doesn't mean they are not hiring. Word of mouth is how trades get filled lots of times and they offer cash bonuses if you refer someone and they stay for a certain period of time. Many companies do this.

you want to work and make a lot of money? this is a good chance.

work some months and soon you can buy cheap lots like Craig Cobb, create your own reality with your own money. subsidize great White news and education like VNN or some other sites or projects, parties or people of your choice. you're the big dog. you've got the money. the money is the power that brings respect, women, opportunities and political change.

MAKE IT HAPPEN.

All you're doing is making excuses for cowardice and laziness.

IT'S A GIANT OIL-BOOM ECONOMY. LOTS OF JOBS THAT PAY A LOT. EVEN THE BASIC SERVICE JOBS ARE BETTER PAYING. COME UP AND GET SOME.
I have two WN roommates that work in Watford City. They even think it would be a good idea to get land out there instead of driving back to Kalispell all the time.

I'm trying to get a job there, doing something I know I can do on the site.

It seems the Mestizo hordes have no problem crawling up there and snatching up those jobs from what I've read from Craig.

If those Spanish speaking sacks of shit can pull it off, why can't young White men? Scared they may get nasty oil stains on their Aeropostales? No Wifi to tweet their fave nog rapper with? Cut into their video gaming and mall shopping?

Have these younger generations been so cosseted and emasculated that they can't (or won't) even make the sacrifices it takes to get ahead of even a ragged band of burrito-breathed beaners?

You've got to take it Whitey. Or they will.

Basically, if you're a clean, sane white man with a trades background, or even unskilled, you can make 50k+ a year fairly easily, doing real and useful work. That's not paradise, but that's a solid opportunity.

The problem you get into when you start doing the leg work for guys that lack the gumption to do it for themselves is same problem I've seen via my association with the so-called "NW Font".

You manage to attract a bunch of listless mouth-breathing retards to a particular part of the country where they imagine the will be taken care of by some kind of nascent national socialistic nanny state. It can develop into a real mess.

Craig's doing a great job drawing attention to the area, but it's also a good idea to let a word to the wise be sufficient before he ends up running an adult daycare facility.

Better than being out of work somewhere else, that's for sure.

I want to add something about the nature of oil (and mining) work:

A lot of the more lucrative, and more sporadic, work on an oil rig (or in a mine, to broaden the relevance of this fact) is in what is called shut-down work: when they cease production on that oil field, that oil rig, that mine, in order to perform routine maintenance work or to make improvements.

A few of my own friends back home are involved in such work; and as I said, it's highly lucrative, but (by its very nature), sporadic. There's a lot of downtime, and if you don't have the skillset to be slotted into other roles, you'll spend a lot of time waiting for the next shut-down.

There is a lot of work out there on the peripheral of oil work. My roommates move the sand they use to frack.
