Job description

TCP Specialist

Alaska E-Line Services

At Alaska E-Line Services, we operate across some of the most demanding and remote oilfield environments in Alaska. Our work spans from the North Slope and Prudhoe Bay to the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet, supporting operations in both land-based and offshore environments.
Some locations are only minutes from our facilities, while others require travel by helicopter, bush plane, snow cat train, or boat. No two jobs are the same, and our personnel are expected to adapt to a wide range of operational challenges and environmental conditions.
Our teams support a broad range of wireline and completion services, including:

  • TCP (Tubing Conveyed Perforating) systems
  • Wireline perforating systems
  • Completion and intervention support
  • Bridge plugs and patch systems
  • Pipe recovery operations
  • Logging and diagnostic services

We are seeking highly motivated TCP Specialists who thrive in fast-paced, high-performance environments and take pride in executing critical completion operations safely and efficiently in some of the harshest — and most rewarding — oil and gas fields in the world.


General Duties & Responsibilities

  • Plan, prepare, and execute TCP operations safely and efficiently
  • Oversee field operations to ensure the timely commencement and successful execution of customer work
  • Assist with assembly, maintenance, testing, and deployment of TCP and perforating systems
  • Ensure compliance with all explosives handling, storage, transportation, and operational procedures
  • Actively engage with supervisors, engineers, and field personnel to maintain service quality and operational performance
  • Troubleshoot operational and equipment-related issues in the field
  • Maintain and manage field supplies, explosives inventory, and operational equipment
  • Ensure all crew members utilize proper PPE and follow safe work practices at all times
  • Conduct daily safety meetings and communicate potential hazards, corrective actions, and safe work practices
  • Follow and enforce all company policies, procedures, and safety standards
  • Maintain accurate job documentation, operational reports, and inventory records
  • Ensure compliance with DOT, HazMat, and ATF regulations
  • Support equipment maintenance, operational readiness, and shop organization
  • Promote professionalism, teamwork, and strong customer relationships in the field

Minimum Qualifications & Requirements

  • Previous TCP, perforating, wireline, or completion operations experience preferred
  • Clean driving record for the past three (3) years with the ability to be insured
  • Must remain in good standing within the company's drug and alcohol testing program
  • Must be able to pass required background checks and maintain compliance with ATF regulations
  • Ability to work safely with explosives and hazardous materials
  • Ability to work in extreme weather and remote Alaska environments
  • Ability to travel for extended field assignments as operationally required
  • Strong troubleshooting, communication, and organizational skills
  • Ability to work safely and effectively in high-pressure operational environments
  • Must remain current on all required training and certifications

What We're Looking For

  • Take pride in operational excellence and service quality
  • Work well under pressure in dynamic field environments
  • Adapt quickly to changing operational conditions
  • Value teamwork, accountability, and professionalism
  • Enjoy solving complex operational challenges
  • Want to build a career in Alaska's unique and demanding oilfield environment.

This position offers the opportunity to work with experienced crews, advanced completion systems, and diverse operations across Alaska while building a career in one of the industry's most challenging and rewarding environments.
