Vacant Positions (Graduate)
We offer three distinct career paths:
Field Engineering. You will work directly
with the client, while providing services
vital to the energy industry anywhere
in the world. You will enter an intense
training programme in preparation for this
challenge.
Research, Development and Manufacturing.
It's your chance to share ideas, win patents,
and make a real impact. You'll help invent
the technologies that make everything we
do possible.
Petrotechnical. It's where your expertise
can help shape the future of energy. You'll
work closely with clients to provide the
expertise that makes a difference.
Vacant Positions (Internships)
Internships. We offer 3 to 12 month
placements in all engineering, earth science,
science and IT/software disciplines.
This is your chance to get some practical
experience and see the exciting challenges
this industry has to offer.
Training and Career Development
As long as you have the passion for
knowledge, you will find constant support
from Schlumberger. You will start off with
two weeks training on the petroleum industry,
the company, and the health and safety codes.
Over the next three years you will follow a
structured training programme designed to
improve your technical and managerial skills
to move our business forward. Training is
not something that only happens in the first
couple of years after you join, but continues
throughout your career. It is a process of
ongoing learning. Imagine your future
in four dimensions: over time, you have
the flexibility to move between functions,
technologies, and geographies. As your career
progresses, we provide you with the training
needed to continuously develop your skills to
help you pursue further opportunities within
Schlumberger. We promote from within
based on merit, and depending on your drive
and performance, the sky is the limit.
