Petroleum Engineering Jobs

Petroleum engineering is a type of engineering discipline that deals with the handling and production of hydrocarbons, which can either be defined as natural gas or crude oil. Their mission is to typically find oil and gas for their country's and location's energy needs.

For those looking to discover a role in this career path, the typical work environment of a Petroleum Engineer includes a lot of traveling, as they are typically stationed in drilling and well sites. Due to the nature of oil, being only available in certain areas those in this career path are location specific.

Petroleum Engineering positions are typically considered the highest paid engineering disciplines and will continue to have higher growth than typical positions, but could see some drop off in the coming years as crude oil resources transfer over to electronic resources.
