𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁?As 𝗢𝗖𝗥𝗘, we are 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀. A client contacted us on Saturday morning to report that one of their HSE representatives had become ill and the father of their reserve HSE professional had just passed away. The client, a multinational renewable energy contractor with numerous floating assets, was facing a critical offshore mobilisation (cable laying operation) for a major operator. A construction vessel was scheduled to be mobilised on Sunday morning. Having an HSE professional on site and on board was crucial for our client to proceed with the mobilisation. Essential for mobilisations for most end clients, which at OCRE we always advise. Sometimes solutions may seem straightforward but require significant effort and the start of a project is always risky on the HSE side. Our client inquired if we could provide an HSE professional with all the necessary specifications and certifications to be on site on the west coast of Scotland. At OCRE, we employ HSE professionals and always have HSE professionals on standby for offshore work. We reached out to Mr. B. (what a superb guy) to see if he could make the journey from his hometown in Friesland in Northern Holland. He packed his PPE, immediately set off, raced to Schiphol Airport, then flew to Scotland, rented a car, and arrived at the mobilisation site by 23:30 Saturday night. He met with the Project Director, completed some essential paperwork, and ensured the mobilisation proceeded exactly on time.The result? It may sound cliché, but it was indeed rewarding. A satisfied client and a sense of accomplishment for all parties involved, not just from a financial standpoint but akin to having painted a masterpiece for the Rijksmuseum.This is why Mark Okkes founded OCRE: to connect professionals and to solve problems with capable individuals who strive to make a difference. Ad hoc problem solvers in (almost) the entire world.

When I started work as an apprentice gas fitter in July 1975, I thought today would be the day I retire. Truth is I semi-retired several years ago and the Government has pushed back my pension by one year. I did think today would be a good day to say a special thank-you to a few specific people who helped me during my career in the gas industry. I also became acquainted with many colleagues over the years, too many to mention, but suffice to say from Ann to Zarate (Alfredo) I remember you all.First credit goes to Tom Campbell who recruited me into the gas industry and nurtured me through my early years.After 10 years “on the tools” I got my first office job at the Technical Services department at West Midlands Gas HQ. I have John Williams to thank for this promotion.My first 14 years in the gas industry had been spent in the service departments but in 1989 when there was a move for distribution fitters to install gas meters, I was promoted into the engineering directorate. Richard Pratt identified how transferable my skills were and recruited me has an Assistant Engineer.Within 3 years I had moved on into National Transmission within BG HQ. With responsibility of coordinating of new CCGT connections Ken Reid took me under his wing. Up till now my roles had all been engineering based but as part of this role I participated in negotiations for gas transportation agreements to power stations. Tony Saul spotted my interest and understanding of the agreements and recommended my recruitment into Gas Transportation services.In 1996, I think in part to my broad range of knowledge, Peter Lyons, recommended my transfer onto the MMC enquiry team. I also worked on the final negotiation of the implementation of the MMC findings with OFGAS with Brian Withington. Brian subsequently recruited me into the newly formed Regulatory department within Transco.Steve Copley led the MMC enquiry and during this time he identified with my ability and in 1999 recruited me into the HQ Business Development department. During this time two telecoms’ businesses were formed and later I joined one a director working for Steve. He shared a piece of wisdom with me that has served me well “In the face of disappointment see opportunity”.My career in what was British Gas came to an end in 2003 when I was made redundant. Remembering Steve’s words, I looked for new opportunities rather than climb back on the corporate ladder. Despite my involvement in a few voluntary and Board member positions I became intellectually bored, and consultancy came a calling.My final mention goes to Bob Bruce, an acquaint for many years. In 2008 he asked if I would be interested in a two-week assignment in Nigeria. Two-weeks turned into three weeks which turn into over eight years. My Nigerian experience provided many memories and meeting many more notable characters. The final unintended consequences of my time in Nigeria resulted me in meeting my wife.

Dear Recruiters, When you have job openings and looking for a suitable candidate first thing is check their experience and skills not the sector of work , I am really sorry to say this because whenever I start applying for a position a few years back they used to say that I am not selected as I am not having experience and now a days when I am applying for a position they start saying sorry your not selected as you don't have experience working in a particular sector etc,If the candidate need to get a job they need apply for a position they need to work in every sector this is not a right decision of hiring candidates.Hire candidates based on their skills and experience not based on the sector they worked in etc ......Eg:We require candidates with oil and gas experience, Hospitality Experience,Airlines etc These are the few requirements companies looking for nowadaysMy Suggestion is Hire a candidate with skills and Experience is the Position Applied not based on sector worked etc

Seasonal work, prevalent in industries like offshore oil and gas, involves performing tasks within predefined timeframes, usually on a monthly or rotational basis. In these contractual arrangements, individuals are stationed at their workplace for specified durations, during which they execute specialized duties. This form of employment, often labeled as 'seasonal work,' is typically associated with demanding and physically demanding responsibilities.In the offshore industry, for instance, seasonal work is a common practice due to the challenging working conditions presented by offshore platforms and drilling operations. Employees engaged in offshore seasonal work usually spend a set number of weeks or months on the rig, fulfilling their roles before returning home during their off-duty periods.One distinguishing feature of seasonal work, particularly in offshore settings, is the absence of permanent residence at the worksite. Given the remote and isolated nature of offshore facilities, employees don't have the option to establish long-term living arrangements. Instead, they temporarily reside on the offshore installation while on duty and subsequently depart when their shift or contract cycle concludes.This pattern aligns with the nature of offshore work, where teams operate in rotation to ensure continuous operations. Thus, individuals engaged in seasonal offshore work adhere to structured schedules that alternate between work periods and designated time off.In summary, seasonal work, especially within offshore companies like those in the oil and gas sector, involves working within specified timeframes, tackling strenuous tasks, and following rotational schedules due to the unique conditions and logistical constraints inherent to such industries.

I once called this place homeIf you work offshore, the normal practice would be for you to either work 14 days in the field and go on time-off for 14 days or it could be 28 days in both cases. Whatever the case may be, gentlemen and ladies fly in a chopper or go by boat to be away from their families and loved ones in sacrifice for the nation and humanity.Recently, I had to visit my favourite FPSO to engage the team working on one of my projects and the feeling was nostalgic. This was the same boat where I worked for 3 years flying in and out in a chopper. To observers, oil and gas workers fly to a 5-star boat then return to their families to enjoy a 2-week or 4-week break but most forget they also miss important milestones in the lives of their families like their children’s birthdays, graduations, etc. There are those who might have even planned to fly out to be part of such occasions, but the weather might prevent them. And there were times when we knew we just had to spend the festive period (Christmas and/or New Year) on the boat away from family members. This does not even address the scary nature of the BOSIET training required before you can even fly in the helicopter.So, this season, as you reach out to your brother, sister or friend in the field, remember it’s a huge sacrifice which reminds me of what a colleague once told me, “I’ve never been to jail before but each time I come out of the field, it feels like freedom.” The oil and gas field worker will always have my respect. If you are one or used to be, feel free to share your experience.#energy, #engineering, #people
