Clerical oil field jobs include positions such as administrative assistant and oil field clerk. In these roles, you may help file and organize paperwork, maintain detailed records of incidents and problems, or sort and distribute mail to on-site workers. Most clerical oil field workers complete their job duties from offices near the entry to a given field, though you may need to go into the oil field as necessary to interact with other employees. Outside of general paperwork duties, clerical oil field jobs may also involve other activities like answering the phone or providing administrative assistance for the managers in charge of the oil field. Some clerical oil field jobs require night, weekend, or holiday shifts.
