    A career at Nexen provides an opportunity to contribute to a team that values diversity, professional development and integrity in our people. It’s building mega projects in the world’s best basins, including the Alberta oil sands, UK North Sea, Gulf of Mexico and offshore West Africa.

Our success has been built on a firm belief that it’s not just what we do that makes us leaders but how we do it.

    Nexen encourages anyone who has concerns regarding our business practices to contact us. We assume that all reports, including those made on the integrity helpline, are made in good faith and are real, legitimate and significant enough to warrant an investigation.
