The offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry offers a wide range of occupations for both entry-level and experienced professionals. Offshore occupations are very challenging and may demand working long hours in difficult conditions, but the rewards are great in comparison to onshore jobs. Shift work forms an integral part of almost all types of offshore jobs, which usually means working offshore for 14 days followed by a rest period onshore for the next 14 days. Offshore crew normally works in 12-hours shifts. They are well trained in safety and environmental regulations to ensure the safety and protection of oil rigs and the people working there.
