Work will include consultation with the rest of the team, gathering materials to build content, using internal and external sources and completing content under deadlines. Finally, following editing, the texts are loaded into an editorial system and published. The content is then delivered to clients by e-mail while being also available on the company's website.

What We’re Looking For

• We are looking for a graduate in sciences with strong computer and writing skills, someone with a good understanding of geology, upstream and midstream, and a willingness to learn about related subjects and E&P databases, someone who can look beyond initial reports to provide a more comprehensive picture, make quick but sound decisions, work with deadlines and collaborate with colleagues located in different locations.
