jigsaw recruiting
Jigsaw is very much alive and kicking.They have recruited all thier captains and they are in country converting to type. On the subject of rearcrew they have just completed interviews for the training team and have selected a guy called ashley"rob" roy an ex RN SAR crewman from Prestwick who last job was a line winchman at Slygo for CHC as the Chief Aircrewman. If you have not heard from BondOS having submitted your CV you are not one of the "selected few" on the training team but with a "on line" date of Dec 05 they have got to get thier finger out and train the 4 operational crews required.
All the rumours of watch systems are right on the button.Its 2 weeks on the rigs two weeks off, 2 weeks at SCATSA two weeks off and two weeks based at Aberdeen and repeat the cycle. Heres the interesting bit PAY:The top whack for the winch ops is £41K this includes all your bonus's for rig time ect....do the maths and you will see that this contract falls well within what Bristows and CHC are paying for in country SAR crews if you take the given that you do 18 shifts on the rigs a year.
Watch this space for breaking news as Jigsaw goes on line.
PS: They are starting this venture form scratch from the L2 to the toaster..I think that they mean business!!!
