Oil And Gas Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a oil and gas in Texas?
The path depends on your specialty within the industry. Engineers typically need a bachelor's degree in petroleum, mechanical, or chemical engineering, while field roles like production technician or lease operator often require a technical certificate from a Texas community college and on-the-job training. The Texas Railroad Commission oversees operator licensing for certain production activities. Certifications from organizations like the Society of Petroleum Engineers strengthen a candidate's profile for professional roles.
Which companies hire oil and gass in Texas?
Companies currently hiring oil and gass in Texas include Atwell, Burns & McDonnell, and Bowman, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's combination of Permian Basin production, Gulf Coast refining, and Houston-based corporate headquarters means both major integrated companies and large independents maintain substantial ongoing workforces across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most oil and gas jobs?
Houston, Dallas, and Midland account for the largest share of oil and gas openings in Texas. Houston drives the bulk of corporate, engineering, and offshore support hiring as the global energy industry's headquarters hub, while Midland and Odessa sit at the heart of Permian Basin drilling activity and Corpus Christi concentrates refining, petrochemical, and port-related operations along the Gulf Coast.
Are there remote oil and gas jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're rare. Most oil and gas roles are inherently tied to physical sites, whether a drilling pad, refinery, or pipeline right-of-way, which limits remote options significantly. About 65% of oil and gas openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions tend to be concentrated in corporate functions like reservoir data analysis, GIS mapping, and commercial trading rather than field or operations roles.
How can I get hired as a oil and gas in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a field technician or lease operator trainee role, which large Texas producers and oilfield services companies hire regularly regardless of prior experience. Community colleges in the Permian Basin and Gulf Coast region, including Odessa College and San Jacinto College, offer petroleum technology programs that major employers actively recruit from. Roustabout, floorhand, and production assistant positions are common starting points, and earning a TWIC card before applying removes a common early barrier for Gulf Coast roles.
Where can I find and apply to oil and gas jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to oil and gas jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the Texas market. Search for roles that fit your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the ones that match.
