This is a high-impact role where you will enhance equipment reliability, reduce downtime, improve operating practices, and mentor field staff. You'll be directly involved in system design, troubleshooting, commissioning, and continuous improvement initiatives that drive operational excellence.
What You'll Do
  • Provide engineering and operational support for oil, gas, and water gathering systems, produced water disposal, and electrical systems.
  • Design and support upgrades that improve equipment performance, reliability, and longevity.
  • Prepare AFEs and ensure accurate execution of designs.
  • Act as a liaison between field operations and Houston-based engineering teams.
  • Deliver daily technical advice to field teams, resolving priority issues quickly.
  • Mentor field operators and technicians, enhancing their understanding of facility equipment and processes.
  • Lead and coordinate Root Cause Failure Analysis, Process Hazard Analysis, risk assessments, and HSE investigations.
  • Oversee H2S treatment processes and chemical programs, validating efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Support MOC (Management of Change) processes to ensure alignment and compliance across teams.
  • Develop field procedures that drive consistency and best practices in operations and maintenance.
  • Conduct equipment testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning to validate system performance.
  • Ensure equipment and process data is accurately captured in the CMMS for effective long-term asset management.
  • Identify opportunities to reduce Lease Operating Expense (LOE) through design, process optimization, and field execution.

What We're Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.
  • 7+ years of direct facilities engineering experience in oil field operations.
  • Strong knowledge of production and SWD facilities, gathering systems, oil/gas/water processing equipment, and electrical systems.
  • Experience with oil field measurement systems, metering devices, and well test-based allocation systems.
  • Hands-on experience with H2S processing systems, vessel repair, and equipment integrity programs.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical investigations, provide training, and mentor field staff.
  • Excellent communication skills with a team-oriented, self-starter mindset.
  • Legally authorized to work in the U.S. + valid driver's license.

Preferred Qualifications
  • 10+ years of upstream oil & gas field engineering and operations support.
  • Strong background in equipment commissioning, start-up, troubleshooting, and performance testing.
  • Experience in risk management, HSE practices, and chemical treatment programs.
