The role also serves as the subsurface technical voice in acquisition and divestiture opportunity reviews and in capital planning discussions with commercial, operations, and finance leadership.
Responsibilities:
  • Prioritize and allocate team resources across basins and competing project demands
  • Own the quality, consistency, and defensibility of subsurface deliverables - including injection interval selection, confining zone evaluation, and disposal capacity assessments
  • Review and approve SWD well design, workover procedures, and injection performance recommendations
  • Oversee preparation of early project scopes, estimates, and well location planning to support facility and
  • gathering system design
  • Serve as the subsurface interface to project management, operations, commercial, permitting, and regulatory affairs; translate technical findings into clear business recommendations
  • Contribute to capital forecasting, AFE development, and project prioritization through high-quality early-phase deliverables
  • Provide subsurface due diligence support for acquisition and divestiture evaluations
  • Ensure work is executed in accordance with regulatory requirements (Texas Railroad Commission, New Mexico OCD, EPA UIC) and company safety and compliance standards
  • Champion a strong safety culture within the team and in all field interactions

Qualifications:

  • Functional knowledge of drilling engineering and drilling operations
  • Experience interfacing with state and federal regulatory agencies
  • Experience with well location planning and permitting
  • Working knowledge of production and reservoir engineering, subsurface characterization, or petrophysics a plus
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through others - setting direction and standards rather than performing the analysis personally
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with the ability to present technical conclusions to non-technical stakeholders
  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment

Education:
  • Bachelor's degree in Petroleum, Civil, Mechanical, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline required
  • Grade and salary will be commensurate with relevant education and experience
