Global oil and gas operator with LNG and carbon capture operations across four continents
Santos operates a diversified portfolio of oil, gas, and LNG assets across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the United States, underpinned by a legacy enterprise stack (SAP, ServiceNow, HYSYS) typical of large-scale energy infrastructure. The hiring mix — weighted toward engineering and operations roles at mid-to-senior levels — reflects active execution on capital projects (Moomba CCS, PNG process improvements) and supply chain optimization. Pain-point clustering around safety, inventory delays, and supply chain constraints suggests the company is managing both operational complexity and transition pressures simultaneously.
Santos is a publicly listed Australian energy company founded in 1954, with 1,001–5,000 employees operating across Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the United States. The company produces oil, natural gas, and liquefied natural gas (LNG), serving domestic Australian markets and exporting to Asia. Santos maintains a dual mandate: delivering reliable, affordable energy through conventional assets while pursuing lower-carbon energy pathways, including carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. The portfolio spans high-quality, long-life oil and gas fields alongside carbon storage resources. Operationally, Santos runs a regional model with local teams managing country-specific regulatory, community, and production requirements.
Santos relies on HYSYS (hydrocarbon simulation), SAP (enterprise resource planning), and ServiceNow (IT service management) as core tools. Process engineering and asset optimization also run on Excel and Prometheus for monitoring across distributed operations.
Key initiatives include the Moomba CCS project, PNG process engineering improvements, supply chain optimization (vendor forecasting, RFQ process redesign), competency-based training frameworks, and a people systems technology roadmap.
