Requirements:
Degree Discipline: Petroleum, Mechanical, Chemical or Offshore Engineering
Location: Aberdeen
Our Engineers make a valuable contribution from the outset: bringing oil and gas to the surface safely; minimising environmental impact; applying the latest technology and best practices; countering some of the most demanding climates and conditions in the world; and coordinating teams of industry specialists. We want people capable of finding and applying innovative solutions to complex technical problems. The work is challenging; flexibility and mobility are at a premium, the hours can be erratic - but no two days are the same.
Reservoir Engineers - Aberdeen
Reservoir Engineers develop a detailed understanding of the distribution of fluids in hydrocarbon reservoirs using state of the art engineering tools, and determine the optimum, economic strategy for producing the oil and gas reserves. A typical first job might be working in a multidisciplinary team to prepare a £15 million well proposal and you will develop a variety of skills ranging from economic evaluation to complex fluid analysis.
Drilling Engineers - Aberdeen
Drilling and Completions engineers are responsible for drilling wells. New engineers may be assigned to a manage a single well under the supervision of a Senior Engineer but within a relatively short period you may become responsible for wells involving budgets of £5-10 million. In addition to planning, designing and managing drilling operations you will liaise with external service providers and provide day to day support to offshore activities. The work is varied and regular offshore trips are a feature.
Subsurface Engineers - Aberdeen
After wells have been drilled and completed, they are handed over to the Subsurface Engineering team. Subsurface Engineers optimise productivity from both existing wells and new completions, by evaluating reservoir stimulation options, well bore hydraulics and choosing the right downhole production equipment for the conditions. You will be responsible for the mechanical "well-being" of a well, interfacing with service companies for optimum job design and taking responsibility for overall costs and production enhancements.
Facilities Engineers - Aberdeen
Facilities Engineers provide technical direction and project management support for a variety of oil and gas producing and processing surface and subsea facilities. You will tackle a wide range of mechanical, structural, process, electrical, instrument and controls activities including implementation of projects to improve process operations, providing engineering expertise for troubleshooting operational problems and for evaluating economic and operational enhancements. You may be required to provide support to onshore processing facilities and offshore producing platforms, work Europe-wide projects or manage studies involving many other disciplines.
Safety, Health & Environmental Engineers (SHE) - Aberdeen
SHE Engineers assist with all operational safety requirements and prepare asset risk management plans. You will liaise with regulatory bodies, manage safety case submissions and ensure compliance with company policies, management systems and regulatory requirements. Working closely with engineers from other disciplines you will help plan and execute emergency exercises and monitor safety and environmental performance.
Functional Training
Within ExxonMobil's Upstream organisation, "Early Competency Milestones " have been identified and training geared to them. Extensive technical and non technical training is provided, in the UK and US, to help young engineers accelerate their skill development in their first assignments and to prepare them for jobs with greater responsibility and help them achieve their career goals.
Graduate Career Path
The Upstream Early Career Development programme allows new engineers to rapidly assimilate the fundamentals for their first role. Guided by career roadmaps that describe career path opportunities and required skills your initial focus will be on understanding the fundamentals within a job family before you progress through a range of broadening and developmental assignments and, eventually, move between technical specialist, generalist and management career paths.
