Show all Oil & Gas jobs in Scotland
After a period of uncertainty, the oil and gas industry is enjoying a surge of newfound confidence. While it would be too much to say there’s never been a better time to get involved in the sector, reports of funding, job openings and new licences are sending a wave of positivity through the sector.
And with every confidence booster for the industry, s1jobs has a way to boost your own courage to land your job in oil & gas.
Funding
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon recently announced new government funding to the chirpy tune of £5 million. This will support the Centre of Excellence in Aberdeen, which has been created to support our oil and gas industry all over the world.
The facility aims to open up new job opportunities in Scotland, while the subsea equipment and machinery created at the Centre will be put to good use all around the globe, including offshore West Africa and in the Gulf of Mexico.
You too can share this positivity and broaden your horizons simply by looking at new vacancies on s1jobs.
Recruitment
It’s been estimated in the UK alone, 40,000 new recruits will be needed in oil and gas, and for 10,000 of those jobs, roles don’t even exist yet as they’ll be created along with the development of new robotics and technology.
That’s inspirational news for anyone looking to get their career kickstarted.
Meantime, IT and software specialists are in big demand right now, while drone operators are needed to help with inspections of sites and keep employees out of harm’s way. One new report notes the use of drones on North Sea oil platforms could save a whopping £4 million a day. That’s a lovely snapshot . . . everyone say, cheese!
Exploration
No fewer than 61 companies have been offered licences for oil and gas exploration, leading to some of the big names in the industry noting this is another huge vote of confidence in the sector.
It means new wells can be drilled and companies can unlock about 320 million barrels of oil from 12 undeveloped sites.
With the latest licensing round set to be such a big success, this has left many feeling more positive for the future of the industry.
So don’t curb your own enthusiasm. Be bold, be brave and – with renewed confidence – find the perfect role in Oil & Gas with s1jobs.
