We moved to ND 7 months ago when my DH accepted a management promotion. His company is an oilfield service company. He has 10 wireline operator postitions that need to be filled, but ND has a very low unemployment rate and there are very few available workers that fit the company requirements. It is a good job, they pay $14-$16 an hour to start out. They get guaranteed 40hrs a week,lot's of overtime, per diem, job bonus and the company even leases condos that they allow new hires to live in rent free for a couple of months while they work out their move.
There are a couple of catches though. It is North Dakota, so it is cold in the winter (but beautiful during the spring, summer and fall) and mostly rural. The company shop is in Minot ND, it is a decent sized town 40,000-50,000 people with typical shopping and restaurants. The company requires that all employees be able to pass a background check and can have no felonies, due to their work with explosives and licenses with the ATF. They have to be able to pass an extensive DOT physical, as well as the ability to obtain a class B CDL, but the company trains for this, it is not necessary to have one starting out. Also the company cannot insure anyone who has more than 2 speeding tickets or and DUI's in the past 5 years.
My husband thinks I am crazy for wanting to post this on BYC, but I told him that chicken people are good people, so it doesn't hurt to try. If you would like any more information about the job or the area pleas PM me. I will help all I can and I will be able to give you my husbands contact information.
I forgot to add employees have to be at least 21 years old.
