How to apply

How do I apply for a position with AGE?

If you want to work with us, the best way to apply is online via our careers website. By setting up a personal profile you will be able to apply directly for any jobs you think are suitable. You can find all vacancies through our job search function or set up job alerts for relevant new vacancies.

What is a personal profile?

Your personal profile allows you to enter additional information about yourself and your interests. This gives us a better idea about you and allows us to approach you directly if we have a role that could be of interest to you. If you work offshore, particularly if you are looking for day-rate or contract work, simply enter the date you are next available.

Setting up a job alert

To set up job alerts you will need to register with our careers site, set up a personal profile and create job alerts according to the roles you are interested in. You can select up to seven locations, disciplines and the frequency you wish to receive your alerts. You can update these at any time. Whenever a new job matching your criteria is posted onto our site we will send you  an alert in the timeframe you have selected.
