"Moving from Brisbane to Melbourne was made easy as ExxonMobil provided tremendous support to aid in relocating my partner and I by helping us find a place to live and shifting all our belongings. I was extremely excited at the prospect of starting a career with the leading oil and gas company in the world. My previous experience had been in the coal mining industry and working in a different environment seemed an exciting challenge.”

“My role as an Electrical and Instrumentation Engineer is based in Melbourne. I regularly travel to either of the two onshore plants or to several offshore platforms. I provide technical support to all sites with any electrical or instrumentation issues and manage the company's electrical integrity program. Working in this role provides great satisfaction as I get to support, help and interact with personnel of all positions within the company, including Management in head office and Operations and Maintenance at site”

“There are several reasons why I wanted to work at ExxonMobil, including possible overseas opportunities in the future, the extensive amount of training offered and the high responsibility you are given from the beginning. I have enjoyed the chance to travel to the ExxonMobil training centre in Houston, USA, for training in my second year and I am excited at what opportunities are ahead for me within the company.”
