Rhiannon Meyers said in a recent article:
“Southwestern Energy Co., a Houston-based natural gas producer, said the company has continued to hire new people as it positions itself to meet the demands of an evolving market, Jenny McCauley, the company’s senior vice president of human resources said during the panel discussion.
“We don’t want to cut our nose off to spite our face by not recruiting and not maintaining the level of talent we need over time to grow and develop,” she said.”
Positions And Skills That Are In demand
Some of the key positions that are in demand include technicians, engineers, technical sales and diesel mechanics. The Engineering, Procurement, Construction (EPC) sector of oil and gas is looking for contract workers. Engineering job titles are seeing a lot of demand with experienced workers getting preference over newcomers in the industry. Reservoir engineers with experience are also in demand in the oil and gas industry.
Valerie Jones said in a recent article:
“Rigzone’s recent 3Q global hiring survey of almost 300 employers and recruiters revealed that though hiring is down, positions in engineering and science, management/support and maintenance and inspection are the most plentiful, respectively.”
