Petrol Gang Recruitment places permanent US oil, gas and energy hires across upstream E&P, midstream, downstream refining, petrochemicals, LNG, and energy transition. Credential-verified. One consultant end to end. Shortlists that hold up on the offer call.
We built the firm around what serious US energy employers were missing from mainstream recruitment: basin fluency, credential rigor, honest package advice in USD, and one accountable consultant on every brief from intake through onboarding follow-up.
Our consultants recruit inside the basin they serve. Permian, Bakken, Marcellus, Eagle Ford, DJ, Anadarko, Gulf offshore, Alaska. You spend intake on the role, not our education.
Every certification checked against the issuing body. API-510, 570, 653, 580, 1160, 1173. PE license status. PSM training. SPE and AAPG membership where relevant. No paper claims that fold under a background check.
Upstream across Permian, Bakken, Marcellus, Eagle Ford, DJ, Anadarko. Offshore Gulf of Mexico. Downstream Gulf Coast refining and petchem. LNG terminals from Sabine Pass to Plaquemines. Energy transition hubs coast to coast.
The consultant who takes your brief runs the search, closes the offer and follows up at day 30 and day 90. Nobody hides behind a shared inbox or an account-management layer.
Not a stack of unfiltered resumes. Three to five ranked, credential-checked, notice-period confirmed, our written notes on each. Package broken down in USD before introduction.
Every permanent placement carries a written replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves inside the guarantee window for reasons that trace back to the search, we re-run the search at no additional fee.
Role, basin, credential bar, package range in USD, timeline. One call. Written brief returned within 24 hours for sign-off.
Active network plus discreet approach to passive candidates. Client identity withheld until you release it.
Three to five candidates. Credentials checked. Notice period confirmed. Package documented in USD. Our notes on each.
Interview coordination, offer structuring, counter-offer support, onboarding follow-up at day 30 and day 90.
Depth of focus inside each discipline is what makes our shortlists arrive faster and better matched than a generalist energy recruiter can manage.
