Norwegian oil industry salaries amongst highest in the world

Last year, Norway topped the list of the highest salaries in the oil industry across the world, followed by Australia. A recent survey by Hays Oil & Gas showed that Norwegian oil industry income is 75% higher than the global average.

Hays Oil & Gas put this down to the fact that “both countries have limited access to qualified workforce combined with a high demand. The result is very high salaries.”

Norway is the world’s seventh largest exporter of oil and the second largest exporter of natural gas. The petroleum sector represents 25% of the gross domestic product, 25% of state income, 50% of export earnings, and provides 250,000 jobs in the country.

To keep up with the high demand, Norwegian companies have been using TUjobs.com – an online recruitment company specialised in online recruitment for the oil and gas sector. The website features daily posts about new job vacancies in the Norwegian oil industry.

Here are a few examples of job posts on TUjobs this week:
