Corrosion Engineer
As a corrosion engineer, I have gained most of my experience in the field and on the job... I have traveled down the entire pipeline and have worked in Anchorage, Valdez, and Fairbanks...
When you think of oil and gas, what do you think of? The pipes that run from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez? Do you think of big corporations with big, big drills! Gas ranges for cooking yummy food? What about the gas that runs your car?
In the Oil and Gas industry, workers do an incredible variety of jobs, working with machinery, science, technology, or mostly with people. There is a wide array of jobs available even for students right out of high school. Just choose an area that interests you, get some training, you’re off to a fascinating, lucrative career!
