The Industry Is Bigger Than Just Engineering
You may think oil and gas is only for engineers or people working on rigs. But the truth is, the industry needs people across many fields:
• HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) officers
• Offshore and marine logistics coordinators
• Energy lawyers and contract compliance officers
• Finance, auditing, and supply chain analysts
• Community engagement and social performance professionals
Whether your background is technical, administrative, legal, or community-based, there are pathways into the industry — but they require clear positioning and readiness.
Offshore Work Is a Major Component
Many of the jobs will be offshore. That means working at sea, in remote locations, under structured rotations (often weeks at a time). These are high-paying roles, but they require the right preparation.
If you’re interested in offshore work, start looking into:
• STCW, HUET, or OPITO safety training
• Basic physical fitness and resilience
• Technical awareness and comfort in high-risk environments
You don’t need to go overseas to qualify — but you do need to be proactive about your training.
Legal and Policy Knowledge Is in Demand
Oil and gas isn’t just about what happens in the field — it also depends on what happens in boardrooms and government offices. You can contribute by working in:
• Energy law
• Petroleum policy and regulation
• Contract and compliance management
If you’re studying law or policy, consider specializing in energy, infrastructure, or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) frameworks. These are fast-growing areas in Namibia.
Don’t Wait for the Jobs to Be Advertised
Production won’t begin overnight — but the groundwork is already happening. Companies are planning. Teams are forming. Local suppliers are being identified.
You can prepare now by:
• Getting certified in offshore safety or logistics
• Following the Ministry of Mines and Energy, NAMCOR, and key contractors
• Building relationships with companies already operating in marine, logistics, or technical support
• Applying for internships, even in support roles
Most of all, stay informed. The sector moves fast — and those who are ready early often gain the most traction.
