A field that keeps hiring

The United States is the world's largest producer of oil and natural gas, and the Permian Basin, Gulf Coast refineries, and shale plays across the country need a constant flow of field crews, drivers, and plant operators. The largest services companies run their own training centers and hire steadily for entry-level field positions.

Which roles are open to those with no experience?

Operator assistant, service operator trainee, equipment operator, CDL driver, plant helper, and manufacturing associate roles regularly hire people with a high school diploma, a driver's license, and a strong work ethic. Employers provide safety and technical training before new hires ever reach a job site.

What benefits, schedules, and training can you expect?

Most large employers offer health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plans with a company match, and paid time off. Field roles often run on rotation schedules that give you blocks of days off, and companies fund equipment certifications, CDL training, and technical courses so an operator assistant can move up to operator, supervisor, or a specialist trade.
