North American Recruiting & Consulting

This is one of my clients who does not provide a base salary range to me; however, I can tell you from prior experience that if you are a good fit for their needs the Base Salary will be very solid and acceptable.

They have an excellent Benefits Plan and a Relocation Plan should that be required.

Our client is an international energy company with operations in strategic locations around the world including the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, offshore West Africa, Canada, Yemen and Colombia. With more than 4,000 employees worldwide, their primary offices are located in North America, Uxbridge and Aberdeen.

Their goal is simple – to responsibly grow long-term value for shareholders by focusing on three growth strategies: oil sands, conventional exploration and development, and unconventional gas.

Their opportunity portfolio is rich and diversified, with almost 10 billion boe to develop. They have a track record of profitability and a strong balance sheet. With industry-leading cash netbacks and new growth projects under way, they are well positioned to continuing creating value for shareholders.

The way they work is just as important as the results they achieve. Their global reputation for sound governance, safe and ethical business practices and transparent disclosure helps ensure they are both an economic success and a responsible developer. They are also proud of their comprehensive stakeholder consultation processes that enable an open dialogue with stakeholders. In addition, through their social responsibility program, they support meaningful projects in the communities where they operate.

The successful candidate will be assigned to the Technical Assurance (TA) Group for the U.S. Division of Our Client.  The TA group is responsible for technical support and services for all assets in the division.  These prospects are located in offshore Gulf of Mexico in both deepwater and shallow environments.  The TA group is a cross-functional group of geoscientists and reservoir engineers, having principal functions which include supporting our exploration, appraisal and development programs.  This assignment is a great opportunity to contribute to several new and evolving field projects and work on interesting deepwater reservoirs.
