Rig ManagerDevelopment Programme

Rig Manager Development ProgrammeThe Rig Manager Development Programme will prepare you for a leadership career in Maersk Drilling.

The greater part of the programme con-

sists of the mandatory onshore trainee-

ship where you will start with a 2 – 3 month

introduction at our HQ in Lyngby (Greater

Copenhagen). You will become acquainted

with the majority of the departments and,

most importantly, Operations. In the begin-

ning, you will be assigned a mentor to guide

you through the whole programme, and

you will also receive a learning plan for your

next rotation.

The programme also includes time off-

shore, where you will experience a number

of rotations on Maersk Drilling rigs. If you

do not already have offshore experience,

you will complete up to 15 months of

rotations on a rig.

ONSHORE PROGRAMME

The onshore programme offers you rota-

tions with different Rig Teams in various

locations around the world. Your trainee-

ship will prepare you for great perfor-

mance in your future job role. This means

upon graduation, you can expect to assist

a Rig Manager in his or her daily tasks,

including rig operations, maintenance,

reporting and budgeting, as well as com-

mercial, HR and other matters.

OFFSHORE PROGRAMME

The aim of the offshore programme is to

acquaint you with life offshore, so you are

familiar with the various job roles, respon-

sibilities and daily routines, and possibly

tackle extraordinary situations that may

arise. This is important when working as

an onshore Rig Manager, as you will be

in constant contact with your offshore

colleagues. Theoretical knowledge may

be necessary to find correct solutions, but

your offshore experience will be the key to

reacting quickly and efficiently in which-

ever situations occur on the rig. Equally

important, people contacting you for as-

sistance will be able to trust that you are

on the same page.

We will plan your rotations in a way that

ensures you get the most out of your

months spent offshore. You will be as-

signed a supervisor to guide and assist

you through the offshore programme.

Further, you will participate in different

stages of rig operations and learn about

the organisation and reporting structure.

Depending on the location, your sched-

ule will likely be 28 days offshore and 28

days onshore. Actual rotation plans and

locations will depend on our contractual

Who: You are an engineer or leader, pref-

erably (but not necessarily) with offshore

experience. If you lack offshore experi-

ence, we will put you through an acceler-

ated offshore training process of 12 – 15

months.

Programme Structure

situation and business needs, and can

therefore change.

TRAINING AND COURSES

You will receive training courses during

your onshore rotations. We believe this

creates a good foundation and adds to

the practical hands-on knowledge you

will also receive. Some courses involve

traveling and will be provided by special-

ised training centres. Others are organised

in-house and online.

You will hold the ultimate responsibility for

planning your course schedule with your

manager and our training department.
