The United States is the world's largest oil & gas producer, anchored by the Permian Basin across West Texas and New Mexico, the Eagle Ford and Bakken plays, the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, and the Marcellus gas fields of Appalachia. Operators and service giants — ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental, SLB and Halliburton — drive everything from high-volume onshore drilling and completions to deepwater offshore production. Roles range across drilling and completions, directional drilling, frac and wireline, production operations, rotating equipment, and project and process engineering, in a fast-moving market where shale activity swings with the rig count. We write for U.S.-based candidates and for international professionals targeting American operators, who need their experience framed to U.S. hiring norms.
What a strong oil & gas résumé for the United States looks like. U.S. recruiters and ATS systems expect a concise, achievement-led, metrics-heavy résumé — production gains, NPT reduction, footage drilled, cost-per-foot — rather than a long-form CV. Safety credentials such as SafeLand/SafeGulf, H2S, RigPass and, for offshore, BOSIET/HUET and a TWIC card carry real weight, alongside the named basins and rig types you've worked. For international candidates we address work authorisation and visa sponsorship up front and convert overseas titles and standards into the U.S. equivalents recruiters recognise. That is the kind of résumé we build for you.
Why have us write it. We have prepared oil and gas applications thousands of times for candidates in Australia and around the world, we know what international operators and EPC recruiters screen for, and we stand behind the result. Tell us the region and roles you are targeting and we will build an application that stands up against the field.
