Drill Companies

I am very interested in working for a drilling company, yet I am just graduating from CMA with a third mates and I have no DP cert. Most of the websites I look at are asking for a couple years of DP experience in order to be hired on as a DPO. Are there any companies that will hire you as a "greenhorn" DPO and train you?

Consider hiring in as a roustabout or AB seaman. After you convince the company that you're worth spending the training $$ on then the courses will be provided and the promotions will come. You'll be a better DPO in the future for having spent some time on the deck too.

Try Noble Drilling they might take you as a DPO trainee or if you can get in as Third Mate they will give you DP training . They dont pay as well as some of the other companies you can get your foot in the door and get some DP training.
