Are there any women working on oil rigs? im an engineer but im scared its too male dominated?

Engineers (male or female) basically don't work on oil rigs.





There are some engineers that have assignments on offshore platforms as maintenance engineers or as supervisors but primarily they work from an office environment. There are also some onshore field assignments that engineers have again working in similar capacities as those offshore.





There are some engineers that work field assignments doing construction and modifications to various facilities.





If you work for a major company you will find that female engineers are treated just the same an males and can do quite well if they are competent. That is what really dominates in the oil field...competence.

Probably there are women who work in oil rig but they don't stay there for long. They just maybe work as liaison officers or personal aide of the boss when visiting the rig. An hour or two will be maybe the longest duration of their stay. Working in offshore oil rigs is very dangerous and only skilled male staff are allowed to work and stay.
