With over 250,000 jobs currently supported in the UK through Oil & Gas, nearly 60% in England and 40% in Scotland it’s important we continue to work together to support employment opportunities.

He continued, “Our sector is evolving, and even though there are currently many traditional Oil & Gas roles, there are also new emerging roles focused on environment, technology and R&D to make efficiencies and meet the net-zero 2035 target. We are looking forward to supporting this journey through skilled workers that meet our client’s individual and changing needs.”
