subject: An Overview Of Some Types Of Jobs You Can Get With An Entrant Gas Training Certificate [print this page] If a career in the gas industry interests you but you've never worked in it, or even taken any courses related to it, then you will first have to get your entrant gas training certificate.
Once your training is completed and you've been certified, the next step is to figure out what type of job you want. So, if you have thought about a career in this field, but don't know where to begin, here are several examples of jobs you might find interesting:
Medical gas companies - With your certification, you could apply at one of the medical gas and propane companies. One of the positions available is that of technician - and some of your duties would include maintaining the supply of medical gases that you also deliver to hospitals, nursing homes and other medical facilities that need them on site, 24 hours per day, for treatments and emergencies.
Oxygen, nitrous oxide and other flammable gases are piped into a medical facility, and carefully monitored by an alarm system. The nursing staff knows enough about the system to take care of minor details like shutting off a bell that rings for no reason at all, but if anything they can't handle arises, or if they need more cans of oxygen, then you will be the person taking over.
Crude oil transportation and storage - This is the type of job for a person who loathes sitting behind a desk, and listening to five different bosses telling them where they went wrong in typing a memo.
To fill the job duties of this position, you must be able to drive a semi-truck to many different places - with a load of highly flammable chemicals behind you. But, if this doesn't bother you and it even sounds like it might be fun, make sure you don't cross this job off your list before your check it out.
Off shore gas and oil rigs - And, if you like to travel to different places and encourage that bit of danger that comes with the territory, then you can always seek out employment in the offshore oil and gas industry.
If you live for danger, excitement, and explosions, you can always choose to take a position where you are right up next to the gas line that you're drilling. The slang term used for the person who does this job is a "rough neck". But if this is a little too risky sounding, you can always opt for a managerial job with the off shore company, instead.
So as you can see by these few examples, there are many ways to go regarding employment when you hold an entrant gas training certification. If you are interested in pursuing a career in this field, make sure you go online and check out a few of the schools that offer this course.
