Completions Engineer
HybridHouston, Texas, United States
Job Summary
Lead the technical design, planning, and execution of geothermal well completions, stimulations, and workover/intervention operations. Develop detailed operational procedures to safely achieve well objectives while providing hands-on field engineering support during active activities. Partner with subsurface and reservoir teams to optimize completion architectures using simulation software, translating subsurface goals into executable field designs that balance performance, risk, and cost. Manage end-to-end well lifecycle activities from initial completions through remedial work, including cost estimation, scheduling, and regulatory documentation. Apply rigorous risk assessment, hazard analysis, and Management of Change processes to planned and active operations, leading post-job reviews to drive continuous improvement. Travel approximately 25–30% to field locations to oversee operations and collaborate with field personnel.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering or an equivalent technical discipline
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in unconventional completions, well interventions, or workover operations
- Experience with multiple well completion or intervention technologies
- Strong understanding of tools and methods used to evaluate completion efficiency and optimize well performance
- Proficiency with stimulation and completion modeling software (e.g., ResFrac, Kinetix, or similar)
- Demonstrated experience applying risk assessment processes, hazard analysis, and Management of Change (MOC)
- Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, execution-heavy environments with shifting priorities
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and written and verbal communication skills
- Willingness to travel approximately 25–30% to field locations
Desired Qualifications
- Hands-on field experience across drilling, completions, and/or workover operations
- Experience with casing and tubing stress analysis, including thermal and mechanical loads during stimulation and injection/production
- Experience mentoring or supporting early-career engineers
- Experience working on first-of-a-kind, non-standard, or technically complex well designs
