Oil & Gas Jobs in Manchester

Manchester is the UK's second tech hub, with strong concentrations in fintech (Co-op Bank, AutoTrader), media (BBC, ITV) and gaming. Pay sits at roughly 80–85% of London for equivalent roles, with a meaningfully lower cost of living that often makes the take-home better.

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.
