Oil & Gas Jobs in the UK & EU

Salary for oil & gas roles in the UK varies by employer, location and seniority. Oil & gas hiring in the UK is concentrated in Aberdeen (upstream operations, decommissioning) and London (commercial / trading desks at BP, Shell, Equinor). Pay is meaningfully above general engineering for equivalent seniority — graduate scheme entry at the majors clears £40k base before allowances. Energy-transition roles (offshore wind, hydrogen) increasingly recruit from this pool.
