NLNG is hiring 3 plant operators at Bonny Island. HND Upper Credit + LNG experience needed. Deadline Nov 10-17 by role. Apply free on NLNG portal only.
NLNG Vacancy 2026: 3 Plant Jobs At Bonny, Apply Before Deadline
Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) is recruiting experienced plant operators for three operations roles at its Bonny Island facility in Rivers State, and applications close this week.
The vacancy, published on October 27, 2026, and shared with Imo Media Hub by a reader in Owerri, is for hands-on, safety-critical plant roles at Bonny. Only applications completed through the NLNG job portal will be valid.
Why This Matters To People In Imo And Rivers
Bonny Island is just across the water from Port Harcourt, and many engineers from Imo State - Owerri, Orlu, Okigwe, Oguta, Mbaitoli, and Ohaji/Egbema - already work in Bonny, Port Harcourt, and Onne.
For an HND holder from Federal Polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, or Imo State Polytechnic, Omuma, who has spent 4 to 10 years working in LNG, gas, or petrochemical plants, this is not a graduate trainee job. This is a senior operator job - shift work, real plant responsibility, and NLNG pay.
If you are that person, this week is your window. If you are not that person, share it - someone in your contact list in Owerri or Port Harcourt is that person.
The 3 Positions - Who Can Apply?
NLNG is recruiting for:
1. Shift Operator - Ref: PO/2026/001
- HND in Chemical, Instrumentation and Control, Petroleum/Gas, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic, Civil, Structural, Environmental, Marine, Metallurgical, Materials, or Software Engineering - minimum Upper Credit
- Minimum 4 years working experience in LNG operations
- Knowledge of LNG processes and plant operating areas - Gas Transmission, NG Treatment, NG Pre-cooling and Liquefaction, Liquid Handling, LNG Utilities, Storage and Loading
2. Operations Supervisor - Ref: PO/2026/002
- HND in same engineering disciplines - minimum Upper Credit
- Minimum 10 years working experience in LNG operations, including at least 3 years in plant operations
- Evidence of acquisition of 12 Assessment and Progression (A&P) Skill Blocks
3. Shift Principal Operator - Ref: PO/2026/003
- HND in same engineering disciplines - minimum Upper Credit
- Minimum 8 years working experience in LNG operations
- Evidence of acquisition of 9 Assessment and Progression (A&P) Skill Blocks
This is NOT for fresh graduates. NLNG says these are safety-critical plant roles. You must have LNG plant experience and the A&P Skill Blocks where required.
What The Job Really Involves - Read Before You Apply
According to the official NLNG vacancy flyer, successful candidates must be willing and able to:
- Work the prescribed shift rotation
- Work at heights and above water, particularly at the loading jetties, where required
- Participate in emergency response and serve on the First Intervention Team (FIT) as required
- Wear prescribed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) correctly and consistently
- Maintain a clean-shaven face while on shift rotation for effective use of Breathing Apparatus (BA), and ensure head hair allows the safe and proper use of helmets and other PPE
- Meet applicable fitness-to-work requirements
- Comply with all applicable HSE, operational and emergency-response requirements
In plain words: this is not office work. You will be on shift, on the plant, on the jetty, in PPE, on call for emergency. If you cannot do shift, heights, or clean-shaven BA work, do not apply.
Mandatory Documents - No Document, No Consideration
NLNG says attachment of the underlisted documents (copies) is MANDATORY:
- HND Certificate
- NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate
- Evidence of acquisition of 9 A&P Skill Blocks (for Shift Principal Operator - 12 for Operations Supervisor where applicable)
- Birth Certificate or Declaration of Age
- Evidence of Change of Name (where applicable)
- Current Curriculum Vitae (CV)
"Applications must include copies of the relevant certificates/documents listed. Applications without mandatory documents will NOT be considered," the flyer states.
Scan all documents clearly BEFORE you start. A blurry certificate is the same as no certificate on the portal.

Deadline - Read This Carefully
There is confusion on deadline, and Imo Media Hub will tell you the truth:
Our advice: APPLY TODAY, Monday, November 9. Do not wait for November 10, 11, or 17. Portals close at midnight, network fails, documents fail to upload. If you wait, you lose.
The Other Side: What NLNG Says About Agents And Payment
NLNG says it clearly in the flyer:
"NLNG does not demand payment from applicants or appoint agents to assist with applications."
"Only successful candidates at each stage will be contacted."
"Candidates should rely only on information from official NLNG channels."
"By applying, candidates consent to Nigeria LNG Limited processing their personal data to assess suitability for employment, in accordance with applicable Company policy and law."
In plain words: if a man in Owerri or Port Harcourt tells you "Bring N50,000, I have NLNG slot, I know somebody inside" - it is SCAM. NLNG does not sell jobs. NLNG does not appoint agents. Block and report him.
NLNG also warns: "Material misrepresentation, omission, falsification or concealment may result in disqualification, withdrawal of an offer or termination of employment."
Do not forge HND, NYSC, or A&P Skill Blocks. NLNG says selection and continued employment are subject to satisfactory verification of information provided and applicable pre-employment and fitness-to-work requirements. They WILL verify.
