Yes, there are some technical people on the rigs.
Electrician - Generally Called a Senior Electrician as titles can make people feel they are better than they are paid!
This guy has to look after systems from the lighting, to the kitchen cooker and then work on the rig floor repairing motors and generally with the Toolpusher standing behind him asking 'how long will it take....we are on downtime'
Mechanic - same goes for this one also, generally a senior mechanic.
This guy usually works alongside the Electrician and look after anything from the toilets to the Main Engines!
Rig Engineer (offshore only) - this guy is generally a marine educated engineer.
This guy usually co-ordinates the work on the technical team.
Generally the Technical crew work alone or as a team on breakdowns, unlike the drilling department who like as many people as possible when they have a problem....which sometimes can be hilarious! Pictures may follow!
