Graduate Recruitment

Graduate Trainee Drilling Engineers:

Here at Fraser Offshore we believe that drilling engineering is a true vocation; a lifetime career in which expertise has worldwide application. Mastery of drilling engineering does not come quickly - skills and experience must be acquired over several years and many wells in order to achieve a standalone level of competence.

Fraser Offshore's Drilling Engineering Training Scheme (DETS) combines classroom training with a structured programme of work, including entry level drill crew experience and well-informed mentoring. The DETS is delivered over a 3-5 year period. The training is flexible and is tailored to meet individual requirement and the availability of real-life work assignments. Duration of training is dependent upon entry-level experience and individual progress.

Fraser Offshore recruits trainees on an annual basis and demand for our training is high. As a minimum we ask for a 2:1 degree in mechanical or mining engineering, strong technical and team working skills, initiative, self-reliance and a willingness to travel and work offshore. Often we ask for more; masters level study, prior exposure to life in the oil/gas sector, evidence of personal achievement.

Our training is necessarily demanding but the rewards are high. Individuals completing the DETS will acquire top end skills that bring with them a well paid career and worldwide opportunities.   

Further information regarding the DETS Programme can be obtained by contacting Alison Brown, HR & Training Manager, Fraser Offshore Limited, Beacon Innovation Centre, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR31 7RA; email abrown@fraseroffshore.com. 

Please note that the deadline for applications for commencement in 2010 has now passed. We will recommence recruiting in late 2010 for commencement in 2011. Details of how and when to apply will be posted on this site.
