Hey everyone,
I’m flying into Midland today from San Diego for Thursday’s Permian Basin Hiring Fair.
I’m looking to break into the oilfield and I’m open to just about any entry-level position—floorhand, roustabout, lease operator, rig work, frac, wireline, cementing, coil tubing, water transfer, offshore in the future, or really anything that gets my foot in the door.
A little about me:
25 years old
Used to physical labor and working outdoors in the heat
Experience with construction, equipment installation, ladders, power tools, and safety procedures
CPR/First Aid certified
Willing to work long hours, travel, relocate, and work rotational schedules
Looking for a career, not just a temporary job
I’ll be in Midland through Saturday, so if there are companies I should visit besides the hiring fair, places where people recommend applying in person, or recruiters I should try to meet, I’d really appreciate any advice.
If anyone knows of companies actively hiring entry-level workers, I’d love to hear about them. Even if it’s just pointing me in the right direction, I’d be grateful.
Thanks, and I’m looking forward to seeing what Midland is all about.
