Oil and gas industry jobs

Post new topic

Hi I'm a pipefitter/steamfitter apprentice in the Canadian oil sands and am wanting to move to the beautiful country of Brazil in a couple years after my apprenticeship is complete! Brazil is the tenth largest exporter of oil in the world and is estimated to be the sixth within the decade.

Finding possible future jobs there has been quite a struggle even when I'm looking just for fun.

I am about to start my Portuguese on Rosetta stone and feel I can be a valuable asset to the growing industry.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?!!

James
