imag5: hmm it good to be here,that list above is cool but as for me electrical and electronics guys have been dominating oil and gas field they fit into anywhere subsea and other technical area,but you forgot to mention NDT technicians,those guys are in high demand like craze coded job cool cash,you work offshore inspecting drilling tools,pipeline,platform etc am a geophysicst but to tell you the truth geoscience no longer sells in nigeria like that simple reason is that most seismic survey as been carried out long ago..so was going on now is drilling and other engineering role ie production.where they recruit 5 geoscientist,50 engineers will be also be recruited you can see the ratio,i have been in the geo-science field but am currently into Asset integrity....via NDT,(am ASNT NDT CERTIFIED IN ET,UT,LPT,RFI,DPI,MT LEVEL 2) though am planing msc in exploration geophysics in uniport.as for experience you can get it anyday any time,you can decide to volunteer..for any small oil and gas coy.good day imag5. i am a civil engr student,in my 4th year actually. i intend to go into the oil & gas sector when i graduate.really need your advice on * where to specialize as a civil engineer *post graduate programs to run when i eventually graduate and *professional/ certificate programs to run as back up to cv thanks. |

For the pages of this thread I have read so far (though I didn't read all through), nobody has mentioned the place of God's favour and/or connection in securing these Oil and Gas job opportunities. While making your preparations, we cannot rule out divine favour and knowing people who can link you too. Sometimes, it is not only because of your relevant and/or irrelevant degree. I am saying that because there are so many graduates with relevant degrees who have also not secured these jobs. At least, I know of persons (male and female) working in the oil and gas industry with degrees in Plant Science, Mass Communication, Law, Agric Engineering, Biochemistry, Quantity Surveying, etc. I must quickly add too that some among them (not all) were taken based on quota system for oil producing communities. So if it's your community's turn, the company cannot turn it down because of non-relevant degree. Some were taken, however, not based on that quota but their performance at aptitude test. I have seen also those taken by oil and gas (4 at least) but not taken as engineers in these fields/areas even with their first class in engineering from good Nigerian universities. In fact, one has in his profile right from beginning always excellent. He had in O'Level 8 As and one Credit in Further Mathematics. He went on to Polytechnic and got OND Distinction in Electrical/Electronics Engineering. He crossed to University by JAMB's direct entry and had First Class in Electrical Engineering. He did a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree in South Africa where the Professor said he was the only one in the class that the external examiner could not find a single word to correct in his M.Eng. research project. The whole class clapped for him. He did other programs regularly and is in fact doing his PhD as he works now for oil company but not as an Engineer in these areas. I know someone who is also working in Oil and Gas whose First Class degree was high to the point of just remaining 0.2 from total CGPA possible but still recruited for less than an Engineer position. Though the good thing is their pays are usually same level for fresh starters' degree and HND holders while it is less for OND holders also with no experience. It is however different for experienced professionals whom the op stated as your start may depend on interview negotiation. I know of Manager in Oil and Gas industry who is not from geoscience or engineering background but Botany & Microbiology. It depends on which section you are recruited there. They have HR, Finance, IT, Supply Chain Management, Safety/HSE, etc, areas with different fields of expertise. I could remember the first Nigerian MD of Shell had his bachelor's degree in Physics. So pray for God's favour as well while making necessary acquisition of relevant degree and certifications. It's somehow strange and not funny when I remember a friend who never got job interview with his mechanical engineering background. Another one went further to do PGD in Petroleum Engineering with distinction after his bachelor's degree before proceeding to UK for Master's degree in Chemical Engineering. He and only one Arab lady had distinction there in Manchester. He continued to PhD in the UK before Home Office's visa paperwork made him return to Nigeria. Still no job till now but trying to manage school teaching. So there is also a need for God's favour or someone up there linking you as reference sometimes. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

This training would help you land your next job..... how? A PMP, CAPM gives you a competitive edge above other job seekers. Invest in yourself... get a befitting job. If you got a job, this could earn you a promotion. REGISTER
