You will first need to apply with some of the oil companies that handle the rigs. Then you will need some type of training in it. Some companies provide training and others do not. Google some of the companies and see just what their experience levels are. It's not a job for people persons. If you can't be separated from your loved ones for weeks at a time don't try this occupation.I was wondering how you get jobs working on a Oil Rig?
This is a great site for searching on oil rig jobs: http://www.oilandgasjobsearch.com Report Abuse

I would think you need a geological or mechanical engineering degree/ experience. If you are bright enough you could possibly get technician job.
