Hazell Engineering Offers New Opportunities for Oilfield Jobs


Hazell engineering, the leader in Oil Rig recruitment in the UK recently announced new and high sought after oilfield vacancies all over the world. Oil and gas drilling is one of the fastest growing sectors of employment, as near-record prices spur a massive expansion in activity and employment and jobs related to oil and gas drilling account for more than one in eight of all net new nonfarm jobs. The number of jobs related to oil and gas drilling has risen by almost 200,000 (80%) since 2003, and the sector now employs about 430,000 workers worldwide.
Oil Rig Recruitment Specialist at Hazell Engineering, Steve Dodd’s said,” There are still shortages of higher skilled construction workers and experienced engineers and scientists for activities such as surveying, well design and project management, putting upward pressure on wage rates and costs. Skill shortages such as those highlighted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in surveys will continue to plague the industry for some years. But growing demand and rising compensation in an otherwise stagnant labour market will eventually cure them.”
He further added,” Jobs in Offshore oil rigs are well paid jobs. Even an entry level job can fetch good money. There are no on-site expenses in an oil rig as both food and accommodation are provided free of cost by the oil companies. In time the focus of graduate study programmes (especially quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, physics and engineering) will shift from training surplus "financial engineers" into producing more petroleum engineers as both schools and students respond to the altered pattern of salary and career incentives.”
