Oil & Gas Jobs, Am I Suited?

Thanks for visiting our WorldVentures site.

The oil and gas industry is having to face up to an huge problem, and that problem is that people working within it are simply getting old. OK that in itself might not seem a problem, but the average age is going up as they fail to attract new people to the industry. The problem came about as a direct result of the downturn of the 80s

Due to this lack of recruitment, the average age of the Oil worker is 50. it is a dilemma that not many human resource managers would want to have on their to-do list

Fortunately students have been drawn to the geosciences, despite the powerful draw of the computer sciences. The companies that operate in the field of Oil and Gas Industry have seen this change as the perfect opportunity to ‘refresh’ their aging workforce.

High level qualifications are not the only way into the industry though, for those less qualified there is a still a pathway to a good wage.

Most companies offer on the job training as a route to employment within their ranks. this also offers a promotional development pathway.

Positions for the industry are available in refining, production, administration transport, and various supervisory and technical. most people when they think of the industry think of someone covered in oil or with the waves beating against them as they struggle to connect pipework

While the above is still the case, a larger range of jobs is available, such as physicists, engineers, procurement. So there is no need to get your hands dirty to earn oil money

New recruits come from many different employ, many come to the industry to change career, many ex armed forces fit nicely there. The best way to find out if you are suited is to submit your employment history Cv, and take a look at what is offered. Specialist recruitment companies operate in the oil and gas jobs arena, and they will advise you of potential employment and earnings.
