Offshore Scaffolding Jobs

For offshore scaffolding jobs, previous offshore experience isn’t mandatory, but having previous scaffolding experience is. Offshore Scaffolding jobs are essentially the same as their land-based counterparts; erecting scaffolding structures from tubes and boards in order to work at height. 

Offshore scaffolding is typically erected either to maintain and repair existing structures or to perform modifications and add to existing structures, or even to build new ones. 

Offshore scaffolders aren't typically tied to any one rig; they will usually be employed by an offshore drilling contractor who will have them move from rig-to-rig on a project specific basis.

Offshore Scaffolding Job Wages

Pay is generally very good for offshore scaffolding jobs, with salaries in the the upper 50s to low 60s, a great deal better than the land-based scaffolding positions
