Oil Rig Mechanic Resume

Oil rig mechanics perform tasks as instructed by toolpushers. They repair and service drilling equipment used for extracting natural resources at oil rigs. The job is mostly situated at remote locations and they have to stay away from home for months or as long as the drilling project goes on. Since lots of risk is involved in the job, these mechanics have to work cautiously and ensure that they are not jeopardizing their life as well as co-workers.

A resume for an oil rig mechanic position must state your competencies clearly. Your willingness and physical fitness to sustain the extreme weather conditions and perform the work must be evident to the employer. In addition, ability to work with the tools used for repairing and maintaining pumping equipment must also be included.
