Roustabout
Roustabout is a traditional term used to describe a fairground or circus worker, which is now used in the oil industry. An oil roustabout refers to a worker who maintains all things in the oil field. He or she sets up oil well heads, oil lead lines connected to stock tanks. Roustabouts will maintain saltwater disposal pumps, lease roads, lease mowing, create dikes around tank batteries on a lease, etc. An oil roustabout has no limits in the oil industry and can, and will do any and all oil field work, including roughneck drilling, oil well completion and well service, and even chemical work. An oil field roustabout will also do all things that an oil field pumper would have to do.
"Roustabout" is also an official classification of natural gas and oil rig personnel. Roustabouts working in oil fields typically perform various jobs requiring little training. However, they frequently turn out to be long-term employees and take on more difficult and sometimes dangerous jobs as they gain experience. Most go on to at least become “roughnecks” if they work for the rig company for more than a few months.
An early 2010 survey by Careercast.com of the best and worst jobs — based on five criteria: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress — rated 'roustabout' as the worst job. Nonetheless, the anecdotal and subjective experience of an actual roustabout reveals the excitement of a challenging, adventurous job.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Workers With Best, Worst Jobs Compare Notes )〕
==Other employment==
In Australia and New Zealand a "Roustabout" can be any worker with broad-based, non-specific skills, in any industry. However, they are more commonly found in rural employment, especially sheep farming, as in the film ''The Sundowners'', where they leave town before the sun goes down.
