Bourbon Offshore

Anyone ever work for Bourbon Offshore? I know they are international but was still wondering if they hire U.S. officers.
Thanks

I've asked about them here in the past without much response. About a year ago I'd have sworn I saw US citizenship as a choice in their on line application. Wouldn't new equipment be nice!

They list American as one of their nationality choices, but I could not get their online application/CV to work properly.

What I'd like to know is if there are ANY Americans working for ANY foreign national companies in foreign waters OR the Gulf of Mexico for that matter?

Rigdon Marine was backed financially by Bourbon, they are a French Company, when they pulled their money out, Rigdon sold out to some company in the gulf, worked for Rigdon for 2 weeks until some dumbshit Chief Limited pumped Raw Sewage in to the bay in Corpus Christi at the dock after we tied up, we had been offshore for 7 days and he waited till we were at the dock to pump.

I work for bourbon offshore norway.
Bourbon has a newbuilding program called horizon 2012....are to recieve 1 vessel every 15 days.
They have employees from all over the world.
The norwegian department are going to recieve 6 new vessels in 2010...need 150 men. I dont know if you must be able to speek scandinavina and english, but I don`t think so, because there are some polish engineers , and they do not speek Scandinavian. The frence department has a crewing department --bourbon greenmar, and <i am convinced that they hire anybody who is qualified. I dont know what sallery they french dep has, but the norwegian sallery is very good.

I have been in bourbon for 6 years, and I recomend it highly.
Bourbon are operating all over the world: India, Vietnam, Gulf of mex, Brasil, Angola, Cameron, Nigeria(Not recomended), congo, north sea(so an so...bad weather all the time)
