Azerbaijan

Completions and commissioning in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas sector refer to the end‑to‑end process of mechanically completing facilities and wells and then testing, energising, and starting up all systems so a new platform, pipeline, or terminal can safely enter operations and be handed over to the asset owner.

With new and upcoming operations in Azerbaijan, common construction-related roles include civil/structural engineers and supervisors, mechanical and piping specialists, and electrical/instrumentation construction leads and supervisors, typically working across onshore and offshore project sites. 

Typical offshore technician roles and production engineering posts include drilling, reservoir and production engineers.  These are typically supported by mechanical, electrical and instrument technicians plus HSE and safety staff on offshore projects.

Common HSE roles linked to oil and gas operations in Azerbaijan typically include HSE Manager/Lead, HSE Advisor, HSE Officer (onshore and offshore), and HSE Specialist, often embedded within broader HSSEQ teams in operators and major projects.

Common OEM-related roles in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas operations typically include equipment design and manufacturing engineers, field service engineers/technicians, maintenance and reliability specialists, and after-sales support or technical account managers, all focused on drilling, production, subsea, and processing equipment

Some of the common project management roles we see around oil and gas operations in Azerbaijan include project managers, project engineers, and project controls managers, typically overseeing EPC/brownfield scopes across onshore and offshore assets.

These roles typically cover inspections across construction, fabrication and commissioning, vendor and site audits, non-conformance reporting, and maintaining quality documentation and final dossiers for large refinery and offshore/onshore projects.

Common skilled trades linked to Azerbaijan’s oil and gas operations include welders, pipefitters, mechanical, electrical, and instrument technicians, crane and lifting crews, rig and drilling crew roles, plus HSE technicians and offshore deck/marine personnel such as riggers and bosuns.
