QP Position
Hello All,
What range of salary/benefits would a "Senior Engineer" at Qatar Petroleum get? Would they provide car/accomodation/school fees besides salary, vacation and return air tickets. I believe it is a standard salary structure.
I am currently in Edmonton,Canada as a Oil & Gas engineer.
Thanks,
Neil
If you have permanent job in canada is better than working with QP most of my friend working in QP are not satisfied with their salary...
A lot will depend on the type of house/villa you're looking for. I am in Calgary, down the Deerfoot (oops, I meant the QEII). PM me. I have much to share about QP.

If you are looking to make the move purely for money forget it. If you are making $150K in Canada stay where you are.
You can apply but you will have to negotiate hard. To leave the beauty of Alberta, Canada you would probably want at least around QR40,000 per month as a basic on a definite contract. As said above you might get messed around on the schooling aspect. I did hear of one Canadian who left immediately as QP did a dirty on him.
However, on the plus the hours are 6.30am to 2.30pm, feels like half day.
If your interested in working in the Middle East, don't bother with QP. Their salary and benefits package is the lowest in the industry. Easily 25-50% lower than the other major O&G companies here.

QP promises community school at the time of signing your contract and once you are here they want you to admit/ move your child to an under/ newly developed Canadian school. Would ask you to sign a new understandings if you decide to send your kids to American School of Doha. QP wants to cut cost but you will come to know about it only once you are its employee. There are multiple community schools for other nationalities, but not for Canadian. Canadians are no longer North American community in QP :-)
Neil, better check the threads about schooling. You may not be able to get your kids in good schools.
Salary is always negotiable so just apply and see what happens.
Yap, you will get around QR 20,000 pm beside other benefits, car loan without interest+ Accomodation +school fee etc.
