Anyone on a wireline crew or know how to get on one?

My husband walked into Weatherford in Lloydminster, and walked out with a job a couple years ago.
From what I understand, its pretty much the same.
I couldn't help you out with the wage stuff - but I thought I'd at least throw a company at you.

 

Lots of big and small companies do wireline, from what I understand it pays quite a bit better than your average oilfield driving gig. Hourly pay may sometimes seem like but around here they run a LOT of hours (100 hour weeks not uncommon), OT after 40 hr, and on top of that most seem to have some completion bonus structure that adds quite a bit to the bottom line.

Looking into this myself, would really like to get on with Cudd in their nitrogen division, or coil tubing/slickline, but haven't talked to enough people to ease my nerves before pulling the trigger (I hate changing career paths even more than changing jobs..huge point of anxiety with me).

 

I will chime in here, cause my post count is low, and I can't reply to PM's yet....lame. When your looking for wireline, or frac, cementing etc jobs, your best way in is with a CDL. Not because you will be driving all the time, but because they want someone to move the equipment when needed.

 

So if you have quite a few years on a CDL with no bad stuff and you are in good physical shape, (former Marine and Firefighter/EMS First Responder), who do you look too for these job opportunities with good hourly pay, overtime and such?? I have a CDL A with all endorsements except passengers, and I have experience in all of those areas of my endorsements.
