Oil and Gas Jobs in the USA
The United States produces both oil and natural gas at a world leading rate and is the world’s largest economic force, with a GDP in excess of $17bn. The oil and gas industry here continues to utilise pioneering methods and new technology in an attempt to extract the most from its oil and gas resources and requires the best available staff to accomplish this.
A visa is required for both employment and long-term residence within the US and there are a range of documents that cover specific sectors and various personal situations. The recruitment specialists at Petroplan can help to clarify the process, but ensuring eligibility is suggested before commencing with the application process for roles.
The USA continues to attract professionals looking to further their careers in a range of prosperous, exciting settings and appeals to people for many reasons.

To offer the best service possible, we take the time to understand the technical details of each job vacancy we manage, including Project Managers Operations Managers, Commercial roles and more. Our links in the USA allow us to look beyond these standard requirements and we endeavour to ensure a perfect match with every placement.
TESTIMONIALS
Project Services Manager
Spending 25 years with the same company tells you that Petroplan must be doing something right! The staff, some of whom are the same people I met all those years ago, still go out of their way in making the effort to contact and visit me regularly – so maintaining that important personable approach to business.

Operations Coach contracted in Baku
I just want to say a big thank you for all your help over the last year; I could not have had a better team guiding me through my first year as a contractor.
Senior Petroleum Economist contracted in Geneva
From the outset, Petroplan were able to talk intelligently and informatively about the role, company and people at the company. They were able to brief me on, and give me a proper understanding of the specific interview requirements and what to expect, which having not been to interview for a while was extremely valuable to me. They have been excellent at keeping in touch with me and pursuing the company on my behalf, and keeping me informed of progress.
Senior Geophysicist contracted in The Hague
I have been dealing with a number of other recruiters in the oil industry, and by far no one has ever showed to actually care about a candidate as much as Petroplan do.

Petroplan has provided an essential one-to-one contact with Hess throughout the project and has shown great flexibility during the times that our requirements were changing. The service that they have provided to our contractors has been excellent and this has fostered positive long term relationships and kept the potential for stress out of our organisation.

Our business is a global oil and gas company based out of the UK.
