Another week, another scan of the Saturday Star newspaper. Here’s a list of job ads in the paper:

  • IEV is looking for an Operations Engineer. You can apply via email here.
  • Qatar Petroleum is looking for a whole mess of engineers. CVs to be submitted here, though I hear the package isn’t that impressive.
  • RasGas is looking for measurement engineering specialists, mech eng specialists and Snr rotating eqt eng. CVs to be submitted here. I believe RasGas is a JV, one of the partners being ExxonMobil.
  • Murphy Oil is looking Graduate Trainees, surprise surprise. I thought they only went for senior staff, and paid big bucks for them. Times must be a-changing. I also remember one of their senior staff saying, if you quit from Murphy, you’ll never get back in. CVs to be submitted here.
  • Here’s a new one, though I think I have heard of them before. GL Konsult (“We VALUE and Enhance TALENT!”) is looking for everyone. I would say that they are either starting operations, or are a manpower supply house. Anyway, forward a detailed resume with photo here.
  • Shell is looking for graduates. Head to their website and follow Students & Graduates → Gradutes → How to Apply → Register & Apply Now → Register.
  • And of course, IGL Process Solutions is looking for high paying work, preferably of a 6 month duration.
