When Thomas & Betts Bought Joslyn High Voltage and brought it here to Hackettstown, some of the maintenance men went to Cleveland to pack things up and they said it was like a ghost town and that alot of Large bussiness' either moved or were bought out.

Glad to hear that jobs are opening back up in that area

Worked on drilling rigs from ages 18-25 with a year of mining in there, I was Derrickhand when I left... Now I'm a consultant for a directional drilling company. We drill directional oil/gas wells.

How is the job market for field engineers in directional drilling?

You don't need a good back to be a Directional Driller lol. It's the closest thing to an office job in the field

What do you mean by field engineers in Directional Drilling? Prior experience is a must. The oil patch has been weird lately. It's kinda slow in Canada. So unless you have a couple years under your belt, you're sitting at home more than anything.

Down in the States, I know North Dakota is booming. Lots of us are going down there to train guys.

kstruckcountry · March 5, 2013

I might have a chance to get an internship on a directional rig next summer. From the sound of it, I'd just be helping a field engineer with their job. Like fetching coffee, lol.

VMaxtastic · March 5, 2013

Internship??? You mean like you will land a job as a directional trainee? Do you have rig experience? Maybe it's different down there. Here, you need to at least have Derrickhand experience to be a DD. Drilling experience is usually required though. Rigs aren't directional.. They all drill straight hole. It's once the oil company brings us out, with out tools and know how, that it is capable of drilling directional wells.

What do you do now Danny?

I know what the job is. My uncle does it in Utah. I have driven out there with him to the rig to drop off parts and tools also to pick up his truck. Because he is always on the rig he helps the other guys our
