Our staffing plan in each country includes a mix of local staff that is supplemented by expatriate personnel. These expatriate personnel are made up of employees from the countries where we have established operations; plus several others. An expatriate completion engineer can expect a career path that includes opportunities to work in many of these countries or within the individual’s home country, as situations warrant.
