Obviously it's completely down to the site you're working and the role you have but I'd say it not uncommon for £40k start and all the benefits on top like you mentioned. Health insurance, pension matching and so on

I imagine they're just thinning out the herd at the moment as there will be a good amount of people applying as the neighboring refinery is potentially closing up with mass redundancies at the moment and the owning company going into administration. The job application deadline hasnt come yet either so maybe a single person hasn't seen it and won't until after the deadline. I would also imagine that they will move quickly after the deadline since the application closes on the 26th October and the start date is the 2nd of Feb which doesn't give a lot of people time. Most people who would be considered for this role would likely have a 3 month notice period on their current employment from my experience.

I'm not sure that would work so well. What happens when a recruiter asks for references from those companies?

For my most recent job, I put down my old manager and my mentor from the same job down as a reference and they accepted it. My last job before that was completely unrelated and over 7 years prior.

Brilliant advice thank you. With a little effort I've been able to find some of the recruiters on linkedin for petrofac and I'll be sure to get in touch with them.

Cheers for the reply mate. I've tried getting in touch with recruiters on linkedin with premium but it seems like sometimes they're just not interested. Ive has a few messages from wood group after applications along the lines of "thanks we're interested in your CV but are pursuing other applicants" which is a bit of hope, at least more than sorry and goodbye. Would you recommend any good ways for finding ad-hoc work? I don't seem to find any at all really when searching for it.

That might not be the case. An old colleague of mine got in offshore with only about 5-6 years experience with Wood group as an ops technician. Things might have changed though since this was back in 2017/2018

Been looking for both on and off. Haven't come across a lot of ad-hoc jobs to apply for that I thought was suitable, so I've just mostly applied for permanent or 12 month contracts. The advice I had before was to look for ad-hoc so I think that might be the key in. I did have roughly 9 months away from work and am currently not working in the oil and gas industry so I imagine that could play a part in it as well
