Jobs and Relocation to Williston

In recent weeks, Williston has seen a large amount of press coverage due to the boom in the oil industry and the large amount of job openings. The press coverage has caused a huge influx of calls to the Chamber which we are unable to keep up with. Due to the influx of inquiries, at this time we are not mailing out packets nor can we answer each email or phone call individually.

Below is a list of resources that will be useful for job seekers and those that wish to relocate to Williston. Please keep in mind that, while jobs are abundant, housing is scarce. If you are planning a trip to the area, it is best to plan around the availability of hotel rooms.

Housing: Housing is scarce in the Williston Basin. For a list of realtors and property management companies, please see page 3 and page 5 in the Williston Relocation Guide. You can access this guide by clicking the "Relocation Guide" button on the right hand side of this page.

Please do not call them with employment related questions.
