Engineering and Projects: Industry, players, jobs and careers

What I love about my job...

I asked a few colleagues working on projects what they liked about

their jobs.
Dear colleagues,
I would like tell students how it is to work in Projects.
Would you please share we me/us one thing you love about your job.
Many thanks!

Industry sector activity and perspectives

Permanent and growing activity (spending by global oil and gas

companies increasing by 5% or so every year)

Energy demand will double from now to 2050

Access to reserves pushes new frontiers: arctic

A lack of engineers

An increasingly competitive market

Not a cool or new business industry an old chaps industry.
Experience is paramount.

Each project is a unique: technical content, project team, parties
