Remote Drilling Fluids Engineer Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Job Purpose:

Lead the definition, development, and execution of the Well Construction Platform digital vision, establishing a unified digital ecosystem that connects engineering, planning, operational execution, and performance insights across the well construction lifecycle. This role is responsible for driving a platform-led transformation that improves Service Efficiency, reduces Non-Productive Time (NPT), lowers operational risk, and enables repeatable performance across global drilling campaigns. Transform the organization from product-line-centric software development to a platform-led operating model by creating a shared digital foundation that serves Drilling Services (DS), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Wireline (WL), TRS, Drilling Fluids (DF), and future well construction technologies.

The platform will create a continuous digital thread linking planning, engineering, execution, analytics, and optimization while establishing the foundational capabilities required for remote operations and future autonomous well construction.

Responsibilities:

Platform Strategy & Vision

• Define and maintain the long-term Well Construction Platform digital roadmap. 

• Establish a common platform architecture that addresses 70-80% of shared business requirements across product lines. 

• Drive alignment between business objectives, technology investments, and operational outcomes. 

• Develop business cases demonstrating value through service efficiency, risk reduction, operational consistency, and increased automation.

Product Portfolio Transformation

• Evaluate existing DS, MPD, WL, and related digital products for strategic fit, overlap, and platform alignment. 

• Lead portfolio rationalization efforts to reduce duplication and maximize reuse of common capabilities. 

• Champion workflow-centric development approaches over standalone application development. 

• Establish governance processes for platform adoption and product-line extensions.

Digital Foundation Development

Lead the development of core platform capabilities including:

• Unified real-time and historical data ingestion

• Common well construction data model

• Master data management for wells, assets, customers, and users

• Analytics and reporting services

• AI/ML enablement framework

• Event management and alarm systems

• Integration and API services

• Security, compliance, and data governance frameworks

Engineering Digitization

Drive digitization and standardization of engineering workflows such as:

• Offset well analysis
• Risk identification and mitigation
• Hydraulics modeling
• Mechanical engineering workflows
• BHA design and optimization
• Well trajectory planning
• Engineering collaboration and review processes

Stakeholder Leadership

• Act as the executive liaison between Product Lines, Engineering, Operations, Digital Technology, and Commercial organizations. 

• Influence senior leadership on investment priorities and strategic direction. 

• Build alignment across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities. 

• Communicate platform value, adoption plans, and business outcomes.

Technology Expectations

• Percentage of common capabilities reused across product lines 

• Data quality and accessibility improvements 

• System integration coverage 

• AI/analytics utilization rates 

• Platform reliability and scalability metrics

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Geoscience, or related technical field; MBA or relevant business certification preferred.
• 5+ years of experience in product management within oilfield services or industrial environments, with demonstrated ownership of products that integrate hardware, field operations, and digital capabilities.
• Direct experience with multiple OFS product lines 
• Demonstrated ability to translate technical capabilities into commercial value.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience with wireline telemetry, real-time data systems (e.g., Warrior, Wellsite), or log interpretation platforms is a plus
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong leadership and communication skills to work across teams and with customers.
• Demonstrated experience translating operational challenges into structured, scalable workflows or digital frameworks within complex service environments.
• Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States 

Skills:

• Working knowledge of energy data standards (e.g., WITSML) and system integration principles, with the ability to evaluate practical implementation impact on field operations.
• Practical understanding of applying analytics or automation within operational workflows where data quality, context integrity, and decision defensibility are critical.
• Familiarity with platforms like Techlog, Spotfire, Petrel, or cloud-based analytics portals.
• Field experience with Wireline or Slickline operations is a strong advantage.
• Experience with Agile development methodologies.
• Proficiency in product management tools (e.g., Jira, Aha!, Trello).
• Understanding of financial modelling and business case development.
• Ability to assess digital initiatives critically and prioritize based on operational impact, execution feasibility, and commercial value.
• Comfortable operating in environments where processes may be loosely defined and capable of driving clarity, structure, and alignment without excessive rigidity.
