Are you looking for LNG jobs? Read on to find out more about the jobs market and your LNG career.
Are you looking for a contracted or full-time position within Liquified Natural Gas (LNG)? On this page, you’ll find everything you need to know about finding a job in the global LNG trade - including details on the qualifications required.
LNG is natural gas in liquid state. Natural gas is an important source of energy across the world. In some countries, it’s even ahead of coal, nuclear and renewable options as an essential energy source. Demand for LNG imports is increasing, especially in Asia, as it is considered a transition fuel that can help in the move to a low-carbon future. In order to keep up with demand, energy companies constantly search to acquire new fields and maximise their yields.
Natural gas engineers are vital to this process, as they perform the analysis and planning behind the extraction technologies to enable effective collection. They tend to have a STEM background and will normally have a degree in engineering - a prerequisite for most natural gas engineer positions. Natural gas engineers must also be licensed by their appropriate body.
The job of a natural gas engineer is to extract as much of the resource from the earth as possible. They determine the best strategy based on factors such as geological conditions and the volume of natural gas already present on site.
Development of wells is a costly endeavour which carries a constant risk of investing in a site with little or no salable gas. This often means meticulous research of a site both before and during the project. Due to these and other challenges, natural gas engineers frequently work long hours.
LNG engineer vacancies are advertised by heavy industry, major oil and gas, engineering or mining facilities worldwide. There is a global demand for this role so it’s common for employers to recruit new talent internationally.
Typical employers include:
This is an advanced role so you will require a good mix of experience alongside multiple qualifications and skills.
To work offshore, you must have the Basic Offshore Safety Induction and Emergency Training Certificate (BOSIET). Many people do the course at their own expense before looking for work. In other cases, some companies sponsor new employees through the course.
