Proficiency with MWD surface software and data acquisition systems. Strong communication skills for effective collaboration with field personnel, directional drillers, and office-based teams. Ability to work standard Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM schedule with flexibility for operational demands as required.

Desirable Skills: Experience with multiple MWD tool platforms and telemetry methods beyond EM. Familiarity with drilling optimization, vibration mitigation, and performance drilling practices. Exposure to data integration with drilling reporting systems and real-time operations centers.

Experience supporting both onshore and offshore drilling operations. Knowledge of basic well planning and survey management.
