The Power Of A Tradeswoman
We sat down with Kobi McNutt, our first brand ambassador, to get to know what it’s like being a bad ass female in what is largely a man’s world. Kobi always wanted to…
How did you find your way into the oil industry?
To prove to people I could. I got told my whole adult life that offshore / the oil field was no place for a woman. And my goal every day is to prove them wrong and do it anyway. I want to show women there is a place for us in every industry.
What’s it like being a woman in a male-dominated industry?
It definitely has its challenges. It’s a little isolating being 1 of 3 women on a drillship full of 200 men. You gotta have some THICK skin and a STRONG personality. At times it’s harder to be respected and harder to be heard – but I’m extremely blessed to work with incredible hard working men that hear me and value my work.
How do you take your coffee?
Black, the darker the better. I want that coffee to HIT.
Hard work means sucking it up, dealing with the BS and taking initiative to get s*** done.

What’s the best part and worst part of your job?
Best Part: The off time (can i say that?). No but seriously, the oil field is where science meets blue collar work. This is one of the only industries where I can wear Carhartt overalls everyday while I pump out engineering calculations. I get the best of both worlds.
Worst Part: Clocking out of “the real world” and being away from family and friends for half the year.
