Oil and Gas Jobs in the UK
Oil & Gas is a key contributor to the UK’s energy supply as well as making a significant contribution to the economy. With over 300,000 jobs in the energy sector supported through oil and gas production in the UK, we understand the importance of finding the right people in the right locations. That is why we have focused on building a strong network of skilled candidates in key locations in London, South East and Aberdeen areas, to help meet our client’s project demands, both onshore and offshore.
As the government made recent plans to work in partnership with the industry, it is set to improve productivity, employment, innovation and skills, under the heading Vision 2035. This aims to generate £920 billion worth of revenue for the UK economy through the oil industry over the next 17 years. That’s a potential increase of 40,000 new people to offset natural attrition and to support the broader energy diversification agenda. This can only be a good thing for our clients, providing increased opportunity to develop and grow both in the UK and internationally.International Oil and Gas Jobs
