What about crane work in the gulf right now? I've been running cranes on land now for over 5 years both friction and hydraulic and I've been seriously considering going offshore. Does anyone know of any companies looking for crane operators?

thanks for all the assistance fellas!

anyone ever worked for a company called VELOSI ?

If your a "Green Hand" they probably will not give you a first or second look. I seriously doubt any company is going to take a chance on someone without years of experience over seas. Could be wrong, have been before.

i have a little under 5 years of oilfield experience...its just that it was all in the inspection field

should be some entry level stuff here in LA, TX, or up north in the shale formations, maybe even Alaska???

yeah, west virgina and PA are exploding right now, it would be a great place to get a foot in the door

As an alternate, look into going to work at the plants (refineries, chemical and gas). Also, look into pipeline inspection companies. Company I work for "Sulzer Chemtech" does work in the 3 areas I mentioned; however, we only deal with the equipment in side the towers. We do have a field group but it only deals with boilmaker work and if you are a code welder. Our buisness is really increasing which means all the other parts of plant buisness are increasing too! Good luck!
