If you've never worked in the oilfield or oil/gas sector then you would need to start at basic entry level positions. Positions like shop hand, warehouse, yard/shop hand, line locator, labor hands or numerous other positions are fantastic positions to start your oilfield career.

There are hundreds of thousands of positions in the oilfield besides drilling rigs. Hundreds of oilfield service companies are hiring! 

While inexperience candidates are hired on drilling rigs, if slots are available, candidates need to have physical labor work experience that includes outside labor work in all weather types for 12 hours or more at a time and preferably with an oilfield background. Drilling Rig work is a physical taxing position and completely unique.

If you are unfamiliar with Drilling Rigs or what Floorhands do, you would need to break into the oilfield!
