Being originally from Tabasco, I grew up surrounded by the Oil & Gas world.
Talking about "working at Pemex" or "working for a company that provides services to Pemex" is part of everyday conversation. In the southeast, the economy and the lives of many families have historically revolved around this industry.
When I started getting involved in renewable energy almost four years ago, I struggled to imagine how to bring in the people who were already part of my natural network: engineers, technicians, operators and specialists from the Oil & Gas sector.
Today, looking back at all of it, I find a clear answer.
About a year and a half ago I recruited talent for a blue hydrogen project in Houston —the world capital of this type of hydrogen thanks to its natural gas and refinery infrastructure. And there I understood something fundamental:
There is a real point of convergence between the "traditional energies" and the energies of the future.
The skills, discipline and operational experience from Oil & Gas are indeed transferable to projects in greenhydrogen and bluehydrogen, and they are even highly valued.
If you come from the Oil & Gas sector and are thinking about moving into renewables, there is a clear path.
And if you are a company building blue or green hydrogen operations and you need talent that understands gases, pressure, safety, process plants and operating in complex environments, there is a solution too.
In Talentato we are building a database specialized in profiles that can make this transition:
operation and maintenance engineers
gas plant specialists
EPC / commissioning profiles
experts in compression, piping, valves, industrial safety
equipment for electrolyzers, hubs, blending and industrial H₂ projects
If you have a command of gas handling, compression, piping, industrial safety, commissioning or EPC experience from Oil & Gas, you have an immediate competitive advantage for key roles in green and blue hydrogen. The industry knows it, and the country is finally entering this conversation ✨
Personally, it excites me to see this transition finally happening in Mexico.
Because those who adapt, evolve.
And energy —like people— is also made to transform itself.
We are here to support that change. 💚⚡
