It's no secret the oil and gas industry is suffering from a lack of qualified engineers. The industry not only has a shortage of candidates, but the veteran workers are beginning to retire, leaving a knowledge gap at many companies.
Weatherford (WFT), a Swiss-based multinational oilfield service company with operations in more than 100 countries, is currently looking for a petroleum engineer with at least three years' experience in engineering and two to three years' experience with managed pressure drilling.
"They are expected to work in the field and travel globally to countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia, and maybe more remote locations as well," said Sy Medina, talent acquisition manager of Weatherford.
Currently, the company has several hundred positions open globally in different departments, and it is looking more for new graduates than seasoned professionals.
