Nabors - Big Lake Yard

You have an interview. Ask all the question you want. They are good company. That is one of the busiest areas in the world at this time. I would be asking how hard it will be to transfer to crude hauling after proving myself as a water wienie. 401k housing etc.

 

I am prrtty sure Big lake starts at 15.5 and goes to 17 after probation.

Guys in big spring are getting 60 hours a week and big lake actually has business so the hours should be fine.

Thing with Nabors is that while you are training the hours are pretty much guaranteed... once you are on your own though it can be pretty slow if the yard is not busy

 

Things are pretty busy lately around big lake , so you should be able to get the 'hours' without too much problems.
The hourly is low sure BUT insurance is good and the overtime is what makes the paycheck.

 

oh and another thing, their hiring process is quite... LONG .. so dont hesitate to ask the manager about it, and press him to get started asap. so he can push HR on his side

 

It is not uncommon for some of these oilfield companies to take a month or even more.

 

Well after the interview , you ll get the drug test, and then they ll give you the contacts and stuff for the physical (at West Texas Rehab in San Angelo - if they didn't change). Top of that they ll do the background check and stuff . Once they got the Ok from the HR in Houston they ll more than likely send you to their 'training school' here in San Angelo. so yeah about 2/3 weeks sometimes
Not much is in the hand of the manager , just keep bugging em after the interview, and keep your horizon open, there is plenty other yards in Big Lake recruiting, just between the Pilot and the end of town I know of at least 4

 

Depending on the background check.. a month to start and then 2 weeks to get paid after that
