Global engineering and operations for energy and materials assets
Wood is a 33,000-person engineering and operations firm serving energy and materials clients across 50 countries. The stack reveals deep domain expertise: specialized industrial tools (HYSYS, PIPESIM, ETAP, SmartPlant, Primavera P6) dominate alongside cloud migration (AWS adoption) and design automation (CADWorx, Navisworks). The hiring mix is engineering-heavy (1,158 of 1,513 roles) with substantial field leadership demand (Survey Party Chiefs, Field Engineers), reflecting a capital-project-services model scaling across onshore/brownfield work and energy transition assignments.
Notable leadership hires: Survey Party Chief, Piping Design Lead, Business Development Director, Chief Field Engineer, Head of Engineering
Wood provides consulting, engineering, and operations services to energy and materials companies, supporting clients through the full asset lifecycle—from brownfield modifications and EPC delivery to feed studies and renewable due diligence. The firm operates globally with presence in 50 countries across onshore, offshore, and infrastructure projects. Active projects span large-scale construction, greenfield and brownfield modifications, and HSE system implementations. Pain points center on cost and schedule control, safety compliance, and managing complexity in upstream/midstream oil and gas work alongside emerging renewable energy transition assignments.
Engineering-grade industrial software: HYSYS, PIPESIM, ETAP for process simulation; Primavera P6 for project planning; SmartPlant Instrumentation for controls; AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D for design; plus AWS, SAP, Oracle, and SCADA/PLC systems for operations.
Yes—actively replacing Microsoft Project, likely toward Primavera P6, which is already in use across the organization for major project planning and EPC delivery.
