Working for The Oil and Gas industry

A career in the oil and gas industry has many rewards, particularly now, when business is thriving and skilled staff are in short supply. As the oil and gas industry develops there will continue to be a demand for professionals with the relevant skills and qualifications, but who are also motivated, adaptable individuals with good communication and IT skills, ready to become part of a team. That means that engineering and scientific skills at the very highest level are becoming ever more important but increasingly, new opportunities are opening within “green” niches in the sector.

According to new research carried out by NOF Energy, the North East market has in the region of 1,730 vacancies. This research into the North East energy sector emphasises the variety of roles available, including design engineers, product development engineers, ROV specialists and hydraulics engineers. It is clear the North East is facing a challenge relating to a shortage of skills despite being regarded as a centre of engineering excellence for this sector. There has never been a better time to work in this expanding and lucrative sector which yields considerable opportunities for personal development, progression and competitive salaries.
