Another oil drilling contractor, through which you may get your drilling job in the locations like Middle East countries, such as Saudi Arabia, is Canada's Calgary, Alberta incorporated Trinidad Drilling Ltd. Though normally oil drilling contractors prefer hiring local workforce for low-end positions like Roughneck, with the Trinidad Drilling it's different. After being contracted to perform offshore and onshore drilling for oil and servicing oil production installations in Saudi Arabia, the company sent a couple of dozens of Roughnecks, Floorhands and Derrickhands on mission with the purposes of servicing their modern oil rigs in oilfields of Saudi Arabia.

Thus, if you believe it's only engineering or supervisory staff who can be asked to move half world away to join an exciting oil drilling project, you are completely wrong. High paying low-end or even entry-level jobs on oil rigs of Saudi Arabia may be available for Roughnecks from Canada and the USA as well. The salaries for these position in Saudi Arabia exceeds substantially what a rig worker could earn in the same position in the North America. These kind of oil drilling jobs in Saudi America and other Middle East oil producing countries are temporary and have purpose of having local crew members trained and taught how to work on the upgraded Trinidad's oil drilling equipment. As soon as the mission is completed, the Derrickmen and Roughnecks are being flown back to Canada or the USA to the place of their permanent job on oil rigs. It's only the existing employees and workers, who Trinidad Drilling sends on missions like that. Some of the other best paid positions for Roughnecks and Roustabouts of these companies can also be found domestically, in offshore sector in the Gulf of Mexico.
