So, after 5 years in Oz we have decided to get the ball rolling for a move back to the motherland.

 

Any tips on where to look for jobs in oil and gas? I've looked at oilcareers.com but is it just a case of going onto each agency / oil company website and having a looky?

 

Appreciate any advice!

 

 

Agencies look at oil careers.com and linkedin.com - If I change even a full stop on either profile then I have to switch of my phone for a week or two from them all phoning up to say "i see you have changed your profile are you looking for work?", I'm now even getting calls at home after 730 at night! Just make sure its is clear you are looking for Aberdeen and they will come looking for you

Yeah I have noticed this myself. On the one hand, you've got a wealth of different agencies looking at your CV and trying to find you a job, on the other hand you are going to get sick of answering calls every 10 minutes. It's just something you will have to deal with if your planning on going down the agency route. I can't complain, I got a new job through Oil Careers but it's not been without it's pains! I'm still getting phone calls, emails and linkedin messages from recruiters.

Quality Manager... QA/QC or Integrity?

 

If its integrity pm me your email address. If its QA/QC feck off ;)

 

PM me anyway, I know a couple of very good agencies that will be able to sort you out no probs.

 

I used to work in recruitment - in house - so the contact book is pretty decent. If you send me some of your details I'll get you on my linkedin and fire you off to the right folk on there as well.

 

The only problem you might have is too many agencies will contact you. The market here is mental at the moment, any half decent CV is being picked up by 15-20 agencies all trying to fill roles.

What does a quality advisor/manager actually do?

 

I've put down just a few things i do here;

 

Set up Quality Management System (to ISO 9001:2008 standard), carry out internal & supplier audits, make sure others are following correct procedures and know what procedures they should actually be using!, suggest improvement areas in the companies system, monitor Quality of the actual equipment throughout the project, reviewing and approving engineering procedures/drawings/bills of materials etc, failure investigations etc etc...just a few, and a whole lot more.

If you don't mind me asking, what's made you want to go back?

 

Best of luck with your job search!

 

SOTR, mainly family reasons. We have a wee one now and I'm not too comfortable having her grow up and not know any of her family. I think I'd rather give her a few years to develop a hatred for family get togethers than to never know of them!

 

We're about to get citizenship so if we did come back and hated it at least we wouldn't have to fart about with visas to go back.
