Spinnaker Oil

The everyday life here is focused on productivity. Being a "smaller" company leads to individuals having to wear multiple hats and be self-motivated to find improvements. This has helped this company thrive through the ups and downs of the industry. 

There aren't many tiers of management, which helps in direct communication and less games of telephone when trying to receive feedback.

The hardest part of the job is dealing with the hours. However, as with any other oilfield job, working lots of hours is necessary and expected.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the flexibility. I've seen employees that have had zero oilfield experience on day 1, and as long as they put an effort into learning, they become a great employee and are successful. 

I'm new to the company and industry. Coworkers are very helpful in showing you how to get the job done. It's a laid-back atmosphere and everyone seems to get along; they are good people to work with. Training is definitely on the job. So far, there are more than enough hours to go around. My only complaint, thus far, is some of the drivers could do a better job of inspecting their equipment and writing up what need to be fixed vs leaving it for the next driver to deal with. I definitely recommend this company.

At first I was hesitant as almost all oil and gas companies will tell you anything just to get a body for the job, but not here at Spinnaker oil, the higher ups and supervisors not only give you a sense of meaning but also a sense in purpose, they will talk to you as if you’ve been an employee for 10 yrs on the first day, the equipments is by far the best I’ve been in and well maintained, I’ve been in the oil field for 10 yrs and I’ve seen some junk, but not here. I truly only see the positive side in this job being that I now like what I do. Here I’m not treated as if I’m not just another body, but a team player. 

Been around a bit worked for a handful of Cement companies they all have their pros and cons. These guys look out for you treat you more then just a number. This is a family friendly place they will look out for you. We have our busy times and we have slow times but it seems OT is always there and ready for the taking. A very safety mind place you’re their number one priority. People are there to help train you to where you need to be and to even move up in the company. Now it’s not for everyone long hours working in inclement weather from hot to cold and everything in between be ready pack a change of clothes you never know. One of my favorite places I have worked

At Spinnaker oil you are part of a family. One of the first things that they do when you start work for Spinnaker is make sure that you are trained appropriately for the job that you're going to do. While you're going through that training a fast track your uniforms so that you get advanced cold weather gear because of the season we are in. Spinnaker oil spends a lot of time and money training and equipping employees so that they can be successful. That is their end goal when you come to work for Spinnaker. They want you to be successful. They want you to be part of the family.

Product receiving from vendors, mix, blend and load product for cement pumping production into oil well drilling sites. Strong company safety ethic and sufficient training provided overall, career advancement limitations. Long hours employee expectation with repetitive duties. Supportive upper management structure. Immediate Supervisor inadequately trained with insufficient interpersonal skill set.

I have been here since January. No complaints.
At first I was worried I wasn’t going to be getting hours, as they trained me I started getting more hours. I am already running a pump truck. Good people and good pay. I was a recent CDL graduate and had not ever worked in oilfield. I am being taught on equipment that I never imagined I would be operating.
