Oil & Gas Jobs in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a disproportionately large tech and finance scene for its size — Skyscanner, FanDuel, Smart and the Royal Bank of Scotland all hire heavily here. The university's informatics graduates feed a strong ML/data ecosystem, and pay is competitive with Manchester for senior roles.

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.
