ATTENTION RIO, LOTS OF JOBS ON THE HORIZON! Find out which professions will be in highest demand next year and take the opportunity to qualify!

In 2020, 4,500 new jobs will be created in Rio de Janeiro, only in the area of exploration and production (E&P), according to studies by Firjan, in addition to doubling the volume of jobs in exploration, production, and drilling activities in 2022.

But be aware that if you are hoping to re-enter the oil and gas market and receive one of the highest salaries in the country, you will need to invest in qualification, said Firjan’s Oil, Gas, and Naval Manager, Karine Fragoso.

Although salaries in the oil and gas market are on average six times higher than in other industrial activities, it requires that the professional be very well qualified. Knowing how to speak English is currently a significant differentiator, as most companies are multinational.

For each new direct job in the oil market, eight opportunities are created in the so-called multiplier effect, explains Karine. This means that with the recovery of the segment in Rio, the expectation is that new positions will also open up in logistics, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, among others.

Check out below the professions that will be most in demand in 2020
