About the Company
Oil and Gas exploration is evolving on a global scale, putting the need for specialist talent at the top of the agenda. Its a vast, political, complex, heavily candidate-lead market with the emphasis on dynamic, multiple project opportunities, rather than the pre-recession security of long-term positions.
For businesses, the need to innovate in emerging, competitive markets has put the pressure on and with major oil companies selling off their assets to smaller independent operators, the games gained plenty of new players too.
