NOV

NOV is a US oilfield equipment and technology company headquartered in Houston, Texas, supplying drilling rigs and rig components, downhole tools, drill pipe, artificial lift, completion and production equipment and aftermarket services to the oil and gas industry. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it traces its heritage to 1862 and took its current form as National Oilwell Varco in the 2005 merger of National Oilwell and Varco International, with sites in the US, Brazil, Norway, India and Saudi Arabia. It hires assembly and shop technicians, welders and painters, quality, mechanical and robotics engineers, field service technicians, project managers and accountants.

At NOV Process & Flow Technologies, we design and manufacture engineered pumping and mixing solutions used across a wide range of industrial applications. As a Skilled Fitter, you will play an important role in assembling and testing high-quality equipment that meets our customers' expectations for safety, reliability and performance.

This is a hands-on manufacturing role where you'll assemble products using engineering drawings, technical specifications and standard workshop tools. You'll work independently on some builds and collaboratively on larger, more complex assemblies, ensuring every product is built to the highest quality standards.

We are committed to developing our people. New starters receive structured onboarding, including buddy training with experienced fitters, product-specific training and ongoing support to build confidence across our diverse product range.

Why Join NOV

  • Work for a global engineering company with a strong reputation for quality and innovation.

  • Develop your skills across a broad range of engineered products and manufacturing processes.

Diversity & Inclusion

At NOV, we are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. We value diversity in all its forms and believe that different perspectives drive innovation and success. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Preferred:
