Got a job offer with baker hughes as a field operator, problem is I have no idea what the heck that is. Can someone fill me in on what the heck this job is about? BTW: I applied as an equipment operator and was offered field operator, the job descriptions look the same all but equipment operator has to lift 50lbs continually.
I work for BH and don't know the difference. Are going to be frac, cement, wireline or something else? I know they are offering that position to former military. We have had a couple former military guys start off as service supervisors with no experience. Personally I don't care for that. It's very hard for those guys to come in with no experience and try to lead a crew. Plus it can be dangerous as well. I'll try to find out the difference today when I talk with someone from work.
About to head to a BH job fair myself, hoping my experience in the Marines pays off...though I definitely don't want to be a supervisor right off! Wish me luck gents
How long did it take to get your first response from Baker Hughes? I applied a week ago but nothing so far.
Annnnd got hired! Much to be said for career event days. And the USMC experience was certainly helpful.
I keep reading these post and now you got me wondering what is the difference? I'm thinking about heading up there,I'm a union heavy equipment operator:bulldozers,excavators,compactors,backhoes,skid steers,etc. I'd love to work this winter but would hate to turn down a job because I don't know what one thing over the other is!
