Full job description

About the Role

The Chemist will be a key member of the Engineering Team based in Flotta, working closely with our globally located Service Team. The role involves supporting and contributing to ongoing project work, including both desk-based technical studies and practical, hands-on activities. Although primarily based in Flotta, the position requires flexibility and a willingness to travel internationally to both onshore and offshore locations.

Based in Flotta, the primary responsibility will be to conduct and support laboratory analyses, studies, and experimental work. In addition, you will provide support to Test Hall projects, which may involve participating in the construction, installation, operation, testing, and decommissioning of process test equipment.

The role also includes international travel to carry out fluid characterisation studies. This work involves the application of standard analytical tools and techniques to assess and better understand client process equipment and operating conditions.

Success in this position will depend on strong attention to detail, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team. You will be motivated to embrace new challenges, continuously develop your technical and interpersonal skills, and broaden your knowledge through exposure to a diverse range of projects and training opportunities.

Full training will be provided.

About the Company

NOV delivers technology-driven solutions that support the global energy industry. We are known for innovation, quality, and reliability, supporting customers across drilling, completion, production, and industrial markets.

What We Offer

Full training provided – structured onboarding and support to build capability in our methods, standards, and ways of working.
Project variety – a blend of lab studies, Test Hall activities, and real-world field-based work.
Global exposure – close collaboration with an international Service Team and opportunities to travel for studies.
A safety-first environment – clear procedures, strong HSE (Health, Safety & Environment) culture, and supportive teamwork.
Competitive compensation and benefits package (country-specific).

Key Responsibilities

Deliver laboratory, consultancy, and site-based services at Flotta and at client locations globally (onshore and offshore).
Conduct laboratory analyses, experimental studies, and fluid characterisation work using established analytical techniques and methodologies.
Support the development, validation, and continuous improvement of laboratory methods and technical processes.
Provide technical support and expertise to internal and external clients, including contributing to proposals, cost estimates, and technical reports.
Assist in the planning and execution of offshore and onshore service activities in line with business objectives and agreed marketing plans.
Carry out research and technical investigations to support company capability and project delivery.
Maintain laboratory readiness by ensuring appropriate stock levels of equipment, materials, and consumables.
Ensure all work is performed safely, professionally, and in full compliance with company policies, procedures, and relevant HSE regulations.
Support cross-functional teams and undertake additional duties as required to meet business needs, including international travel.

Qualifications & Skills

Essential:

Tertiary education in Chemistry or a chemistry-related discipline.
Strong computer literacy, including proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel.
High attention to detail and a disciplined approach to documentation and data quality.
Flexibility and willingness to travel internationally to onshore/offshore locations as required.

Desirable:

Proven experience in a technical function in a related industry and/or with a related service provider.
Knowledge of the Oil & Gas service sector.
Technical experience within oil, water, waste, or alternative energy industries.
Practical experience supporting experimental / test-rig / pilot or process test equipment work.
Experience with fluid characterisation or similar analytical studies in an applied/industrial setting.

Soft Skills

Strong written and verbal communication (able to translate results into clear recommendations/insights).
Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
Proactive approach to learning and problem-solving; comfortable with new challenges.
Strong organisation skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
Reliability and ownership mindset, especially around safety and data integrity.
