About the role
- We're an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales.
- Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation.
- Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies.
Responsibilities
- Domain-Driven Technical Leadership Lead the petroleum engineering input into the development of digital tools focused on production optimization, deferral management, anomaly detection, and workflow automation.
- Well & System Modelling Oversee or implement building, calibration, and validation of well and system models (natural flow, gas lift, ESP, and other artificial lift systems) in common software (IPM Suite, etc.) Provide procedural assurance or contribute to the development of the process to ensure integrity of input data (well tests, PVT, constraints) and quality of model outputs.
- Use model-derived insights to identify optimization opportunities and support forecasting and prediction workflows.
- Client & Stakeholder Engagement Work closely with client production teams to validate opportunities, refine requirements, and ensure alignment.
- Identify new business opportunities and support management in expanding service lines and client relationships.
- Support creation of best practices, guidelines, and domain standards for internal use.
- Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams (data science, development, QA) in fast-moving project cycles.
- Technical Tools & Digital Fluency Prepare rapid technical reports, PowerPoints, and decision-support materials.
- Maintain strong English communication and presentation capabilities.
Requirements
- Technical & Domain Expertise Bachelor's or Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in production/reservoir engineering roles within oil & gas operating companies or service/digital solution providers.
- Strong experience with oil and gas producer wells, including natural flow, gas lift, and basic familiarity with ESP and other artificial lift systems.
- Hands-on experience with well and system modelling (e.g., Prosper, GAP, MBAL or equivalent tools), including model building, calibration, and validation.
- Solid understanding of reservoir-well-surface system interactions and ability to integrate subsurface and surface data into optimization work.
- Proven proficiency in diagnosing flow assurance issues (wax, asphaltenes, slugging, hydrates, etc.) and recommending mitigation strategies.
- Ability to break down complex engineering challenges into structured, actionable components for data science and software development teams.
- Leadership, Collaboration & Agility Experience working in high-paced, agile development or multidisciplinary environments (sprints, iterative delivery, backlog grooming).
- Nice-to-Have Previous experience in consultancy, digital product development, or technical project leadership within the petroleum engineering domain.
- Familiarity with cloud-based platforms, production data systems, and integrated digital environments.
Nice to have
- Experience working with data-driven tools, dashboards, or digital workflows is a plus.
Benefits
- Periodically review well stock performance using in-house tools and generate validated opportunity lists and deferral cases.
- Future Product Vision & Scaling Contribute to the long-term roadmap for digital production engineering products and scalable platforms.
