Currently I am a DPO (Dynamic Positioning Operator). I basically watch the computers that tell the thrusters where to point and how much force to apply to keep the rig over a certain point on the sea bed 1115 m below us.
On my way to this illustrious job, I was a Roustabout,(labourer on an Oil Rig), Watchstander (ballast control, mooring, record keeping), Assisstant Barge Engineer (boss of Watchstanders and Roustabouts) and sometime stand in Barge Engineer (secondish, depending on circumstances, in command of the Rig)
