“Just wondering how much you travel? Do you enjoy your job”
Currently an operations engineer in a large service company for a specific product line on a global level as oppose to regional
what i do mostly is fly in to cover region projects if its a first time running our equipment , make up strength in crews in other regions , analyse data on **** ups and write/review proceedures for jobs as well as provide technical assistance and on call duty for when things go wrong(its the oil industry) – bit of a jack of all trades
I travel a fair bit but generally do longer trips rather than a few days here and there. done about 12 weeks abroad this year. – 6 in nigeria , 2 in houston , 4 in ukraine
I enjoy the travel at the moment because of the nature of my picking up the pieces i generally fly to different places rather than doing the same trips time and time again.
how ever – be careful there are some really shit jobs out there in O & G – i got lucky. friend of mine was a geo logger – she got paid less than the cleaners on the rig !
jambo – seriously – as long as the course requires some technical input from him it wont stand him any harm in almost any technical career.
