Anyone work in Oil and Gas?
Discussion
Morning All, an odd first post on PH - have read the forums for a while now but never bothered to register and post, however having read this section before it seems there may be a few here that can give me some pointers.
I have an interview soon for a job with one of the major Oil and Gas players, oddly enough it's based in Scotland but not Aberdeen (though i'm guessing travel is par for the course which won't be an issue). As I'm not currently in the industry I'm wondering what I'll be expected to know. The job is a commercial role (estimaing) and relates to project services.
My own background is a mixture of Qs (construction) and defence estimating with about 6 years total to date so I have quite a wide range of experience that may or may not be directly applicable. I'm getting into late 20's so this move could potentially set up the rest of my career.
I assume they will be looking for somebody to work through bottom up, norm based estimates and tie in with various engineering leads along the way then compare with previous similar projects and profile risk /contingency etc. All of this should be fairly standard across all industries but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything oil and gas specific that I should read up on or has any general tips on what the industry tends to look for?
(ps I know that's a pretty specific thing to ask but you never know!)
