G'day all,
I am hoping to find someone who can put me in contact with the right people to obtain a Trainee Hydraulic Fluid Engineer / Trainee Mud Engineer Position.

I'm a 22 year old Australian American currently living in Norway. I have a Bachelor of Engineering from Griffith University, Australia, and have 3 years of part time Civil Engineering experience from a senior position.

My motivation for seeking this position is simple: I have taken a year off to travel after completing my Bachelor Degree and in that time i focused a lot on working out what I want to do and become in my career. Furthermore, my current situation is very unique in that I can move anywhere, my girlfriend and I are looking for a change from Norway and were targeting the USA. She has a five year green card for the USA and works fly in fly out as an ROV Pilot for Oceaneering, and I'm a US Citizen with Social Security Number.

If there is anyone who can give me guidance on how to get into the industry or is willing to take a look at my CV that would be fantastic. On another note I'm very seriously considering completing a private Mud School (Ace Mud School or DFE Tech) so i would be very interested to hear anyones opinions on these schools, whether they are worthwhile or a waste of time/money, and which school is better.

Again any advice or help is much appreciated!

Kind regards, Wills

You know a mud engineer is not a real engineer, right?

Can I help you, woman?

Granted I have heard of one or two mud engineers that actually hold an engineering degree, generally speaking, a mud engineer is not an engineer.

They take a 3 month course, don't have to hold a degree in engineering, and basically just work with algebra.

The term "Mud Engineer" is just an oil field term. Most companies have recently been calling them Drilling Fluid Specialists.

Mud Engineer =/= Engineer
Similar to
Railroad Engineer =/= Engineer

I thought Mud engineers were outsourced by gerbils in the early 2ks.

I doubt he cares, it's still a job that pays decently. Frac engineer isn't a "real" engineer either, and neither are most field engineering positions for that matter
