Answer 1

Look in the Houston yellow pages under Drilling Contractors.

Answer 2

Check out http://www.rigzone.com/jobs/

You can search by job category - the site includes jobs for most of the oil & gas sector.

The company I work for has a temporary hiring freeze for offshore personnel - because we are sending a lot of rigs to work outside of the Gulf of Mexico.  I don't think this is the case industry wide though.  Also, if you have experience you are more marketable than someone looking for their first job offshore.

Good luck!

Annie is right - rigzone has listings of offshore jobs.  

There are NOT a lot drugs on offshore platforms (land rigs are a different story - it's easier to get away with stuff when you don't live where you work.)  There are required random drug tests for all employees and if an employee fails a drug test they are no longer an employee.  If an employee is injured while at work he is required to pass a drug test as well (the same as he would for Workman's comp at any industrial job.)

Rigs are a hazardous place to work, that's part of the reason you have to be 18 years old to work out there.  There are some companies that are more well known for having a safety conscious environment.  I have worked on rigs and I still have all my fingers - I never got hurt out there.   Very few of the younger employees are losing fingers - the rigs are about as safe as any industrial job.

As far as finding employment - if you want to roustabout, roughneck or otherwise be a rig employee your best bet is to try a site like rigzone.  If you know anyone working for a drilling contractor you may have luck asking them for the contact information of the personnel department.  (But I assume if you're asking us you don't have access to that info.)

Cold calling drilling contractors doesn't often get you very far, but it might be worth a try.  Start with the big ones - TransOcean, Diamond Offshore, Noble and TODCO - but with international rig usage at 100% right now a lot of companies are sending rigs that used to work in the GoM overseas, and not all of the contractors are hiring.  (International contracts often require that local nationals fill the roustabout and some drilling positions.)

If you want to work in the kitchen with the galley crew try contacting ESS - they're always hiring, but the work isn't glamorous. http://www.ess-global.com/Default.aspx?i...
