With the Billion-Dollar Investment in the Boaventura Energy Complex, Petrobras Promises 10 Thousand Jobs and Plans New Recruitment. The Expectation Is That Thousands of Technical Positions Will Be Opened.
It seems that those expecting a new Petrobras recruitment will have to wait a little longer.
Although the Cesgranrio Foundation has been hired to organize the upcoming selection processes of the state-owned company until 2028, the chances of a notice being released still in 2024 are minimal.
However, that does not mean Petrobras is idle.

There are rumors that preparations for a new recruitment are underway, but expectations point to an official announcement only next year.
According to sources heard by Qconcursos Folha Dirigida, the new notice will likely be released in 2025.
This planning follows a pattern similar to previous recruitments, like the contract signed in 2016, whose notices were only published the following year.
In the meantime, Petrobras continues to assess its internal needs and prepare for future hiring.
The Expectation of Positions and the Success of Previous Recruitments
Even without the disclosure of the specific positions for the next recruitment, some areas are being considered for selection, mainly in medium and technical-level roles.
In past editions, Petrobras opened opportunities for positions like nursing technician, electrical and mechanical maintenance, transport logistics, and occupational safety.
These positions play an essential role in the company’s operations and are strong candidates to be included in the future notice.
In recent recruitments, Petrobras launched two notices in 2023, offering a total of 7,531 vacancies, between immediate opportunities and creation of a reserve list.
These vacancies included technical functions essential for the company’s operation, and the expectation is that the upcoming notice will maintain or increase this number, given the state-owned company’s expansion scenario.
Expansion and More Jobs: The Industrial Complex in Itaboraí
In addition to the recruitment, Petrobras is investing in large-scale projects that promise to impact the labor market in Rio de Janeiro.
During the inauguration of the Boaventura Energy Complex in Itaboraí (RJ), the president of Petrobras, Magda Chambriard, announced the creation of 10 thousand direct jobs during the construction phase of this new industrial hub.
These figures are impressive and indicate the state-owned company’s commitment to boosting the economic development of the state and the country.
“We will invest R$7 billion in this project, generating 10 thousand direct jobs during the construction phase, in addition to 3 thousand permanent positions after the completion of the complex,” highlighted Magda Chambriard.
With this investment, the complex is expected to become an important center for energy generation, increasing the demand for specialized professionals in various technical areas.
Cesgranrio in Charge of the Recruitments: What to Expect?
The partnership between Petrobras and the Cesgranrio Foundation is not new.
In previous recruitments, Cesgranrio has already been responsible for organizing highly successful editions, such as those from 2017 and 2018, which together offered thousands of vacancies.
Now, with a renewed contract, the expectation is that the foundation will continue to act in the organization of the upcoming recruitment processes of the state-owned company.
According to information obtained by Qconcursos Folha Dirigida, the new contract with Cesgranrio was signed in 2024 and will be valid until July 2028, allowing Petrobras to conduct recruitments at any time during this period, if necessary.
The company will be responsible for all stages, from planning to execution of the selection processes, ensuring that everything is done efficiently and transparently.
Could the Next Recruitment Be the Largest in Petrobras History?
Although there is no official confirmation, there is a growing expectation that the next Petrobras recruitment will be the largest ever conducted by the company.
With the expansion of projects and the need for new professionals to meet the growing demand, the state-owned company may offer a record number of positions.
Candidates are already preparing, attentive to any news that may arise in the coming months.
For now, the recommendation is that interested parties begin studying based on previous notices, which include areas such as nursing, maintenance, operation, and occupational safety.
Although the positions for the next recruitment have not yet been defined, these areas are essential for the functioning of Petrobras, and it is likely they will be contemplated again.
What Does the Future Hold?
The outlook for Petrobras recruitments remains promising, but it is important for candidates to stay updated.
If the new recruitment follows the pattern of other years, we can expect a generous offering of positions and opportunities in various technical fields.
In addition, the state-owned company’s investments, such as the Boaventura Energy Complex, reinforce the need for qualified professionals to fill roles in strategic projects.
With Cesgranrio in charge of the organization and the support of high management of the company, the upcoming months will be decisive for those dreaming of a career at Petrobras.
Now, the question remains: Will the new Petrobras recruitment surprise with the largest number of vacancies in history?
