Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Roustabouts have no route; degree-level engineers (going rate GBP 46,800 to 58,700) are sponsored, and electricians and pipe fitters only if on a shortage list.
Before you apply: Many rigs and platforms ask for an offshore safety induction with helicopter escape training (BOSIET, or its tropical version TBOSIET; refresher within 4 years) and an offshore medical. Ship crews need sea-safety certificates (STCW). Ask who pays.
Watch for: The July 2026 review proposes access from January 2027 for electricians, pipe fitters, welders and ship officers; not yet decided. Roustabout jobs are on no list read.
