jciadminUncategorizedNo Comments

Uganda’s emerging oil and gas industry, driven by significant discoveries in the Albertine Graben region, is creating a wave of career opportunities. Among the major projects shaping this landscape is the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), a transformative venture that connects Uganda’s oil fields to the Tanzanian port of Tanga.

This mega-project not only promises economic growth but also presents a spectrum of career opportunities for intending professionals across various disciplines.

JCI Services, recognizing the immense potential of Uganda’s oil and gas industry, is renowned for offering specialized training programs to equip both experienced and non experienced persons with the skills demanded by the sector.

Utilizing online, theoretical, real-life simulations, and hands-on training, our training focuses on the following areas:

Lifting operations involve the use of cranes, hoists, and other lifting devices to move heavy equipment and materials. This certification will teach you the safe and efficient operation of lifting equipment, as well as the proper rigging and slinging techniques to ensure that loads are secure and stable during lifting operations.

Rope Access

Rope access is a specialized technique used to access and work in high or difficult-to-reach areas, such as offshore platforms or oil rigs. Rope access technicians use ropes and harnesses to climb and descend structures, performing various tasks such as inspections, repairs, and maintenance. A rope access certification will teach you the necessary skills to perform these tasks safely and effectively.

NDT Inspection

Non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection is a critical component of the oil and gas industry. NDT inspectors use specialized equipment and techniques to detect and evaluate defects or flaws in structures or equipment. A certification in NDT inspection will teach you the necessary skills and knowledge to perform inspections and ensure that structures and equipment meet safety standards.

Health and Safety

Health and safety is a critical aspect of the oil and gas industry. Workers in this field face a variety of hazards, including exposure to toxic substances, falls, and explosions. A certification in health and safety will teach you the necessary skills to identify and mitigate hazards, ensuring that you and your colleagues can work safely and effectively.

IWCF Drilling Programs

The International Well Control Forum (IWCF) training is a specialized program designed to provide professionals in the oil and gas industry with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain well control during drilling operations. Well control refers to the management of pressure within a well, preventing the uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons and ensuring the safety of personnel, the environment, and the integrity of the wellbore.

This accreditation is of utmost importance for a wide range of roles, encompassing Derrick Men, Mud Loggers, Mud Engineers, Assistant Drillers, Drillers, Drilling Engineers, Drilling Superintendents, Rig Managers, Drilling Managers, Tool Pushers, and Offshore Installation Managers.
