The oil fields of Iraq are known to be extremely large, with experts suggesting that there are only four countries of the world with larger reserves available to them: Venezuela, Saud Arabia, Canada and Iran. Those oil reserves are primarily found in the areas surrounding the cities of Basra, Baghdad, Kirkuk and Ramadi. As might be expected, most available jobs in the sector tend to be located close to one of those major oil fields together with the various oil fields of Kurdistan.

International oil extraction companies have contracts in place that cover a number of Iraq’s oil fields, meaning that many specialists who are employed within the sector typically find roles within multinational corporations.

If you have a particular interest in working within the sector, then a good starting point is to consider the type of role that you are likely to be suited to. The nature of the industry is such that there are plenty of different roles to choose from, meaning that you are likely to be able to find an excellent position, whether you are a technician, a welder, an administrative assistant, a structural engineer, a pipefitter, a scaffolder, an instrument technician, or someone with skills in another area. As well as core roles, there are always requirements from those carrying out support tasks too.
