The UK offshore oil and gas industry is an established provider of
energy, employment, investment, exports and tax revenues for the UK
economy. However, the market is facing a
number of challenges at the moment, with questions over the safety of drilling
and strict regulations regarding the impact on the environment, as well as
rising costs in a difficult economic situation. Furthermore, the Petroleum
Industry Association has reported that British regulations are now the toughest
in Europe and could be costing British refiners £1 billion per year.
These challenges have led to a high demand for the best
salespeople, with knowledge in highly niche sectors and a solid and stable work
history, who can help companies succeed despite these challenges. In this
market, experience and qualifications are extremely highly valued by companies.
As a result, a premium is being paid to professionals who have a high level of
technical expertise. Having a network of contacts within an organisation’s
target market is also highly sought-after. The current lack of skilled
professionals is also helping to boost the value of those who do have the
required skills in niche areas.
