We’re proud to employ thousands of former military personnel at Schlumberger.
If you’ve worked in the military, you’ll likely have a lot of the skills and traits that will make you successful here. On this page, you’ll find some typical roles that former military personnel often succeed in, but we welcome applications to any of our open roles that you feel you’re qualified for. Whatever the role, your military experience will be an asset to your application.
You could say there are a lot of similarities between working here and working in the military. We work in a range of environments, provide extensive training and development, and always work together to achieve ambitious goals. You’ll continually solve problems, work at a fast pace and be rewarded for improving how we work. We look for people who are disciplined, reliable, driven and if you already have technical skills, that makes you a very strong candidate.
