Your Development Journey

You’ll be enrolled in our 4-year Field Engineer Technical Development Program, which blends classroom learning with real-world experience:

  • Year 1: Work with guidance and take part in hands-on training at one of our global centers. Travel may be needed to gain real-world experience

  • Years 3 & 4: Expanding your knowledge and skills, and may lead teams at the wellsite while serving as the main contact for our clients

Your Day-to-day Could Include

  • Prepare, deploy, and operate advanced downhole tools to meet specific wellsite objectives
  • Utilize cutting-edge simulation software to design and optimize wellsite solutions tailored to client needs
  • Analyze performance data and recommend improvements
  • Manage equipment logistics and ensure seamless setup and operation at the rig site
  • Create detailed post-job reports and share actionable insights with clients and internal teams
  • Champion a culture of continuous improvement with a strong focus on safety, quality, and performance
  • Deliver front-line engineering support to our customers throughout operations, resolving issues independently

    • Mechanical
    • Electrical
    • Petroleum

  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to analyse complex problems, apply critical thinking, and make informed decisions
  • A passion for hands-on work and learning in dynamic environments (onshore and offshore)
  • English language proficiency (written and spoken) – Upper Intermediate and higher
What To Expect

This role is physically and mentally demanding. You’ll work 12-hour shifts (day or night), often in tough weather conditions. You may be away from home for extended periods, including weekends and holidays. But if you’re up for the challenge, the rewards are big.

You’ll join one of our specialized product lines, such as:
