Oil man! You guys are hitting it big up there! Apparently they are starving for people up there.

I do a month in AK on the oilfield, and a month back home in Vegas. It super awesome, but hard on the social life...

Safety manager
Logistics
Heavy Equip operator
Oil process operator



The possibilities are pretty wide. There is so much ancillary support aside from the actual drilling and pumping. I'd just figure out what companies have contracts up there and peruse their open positions listings.

Or go to the ND hometown and maybe someone there can hook you up.

Travel nursing. You're never too old to go back to school.

Also the tooling that is required is quite extensive. Both new and repairing some items. There should be some supply or tooling places up there as well.
