About DarkVision Technologies Inc.

DarkVision is a Vancouver-based tech company that has been disrupting the industrial imaging market since 2013. We have created the world’s most advanced acoustic-based imaging platform, revolutionizing how our clients quantify and visualize the integrity of their critical assets.

Backed by Blackstone, one of the world’s largest private equity firms, DarkVision’s team of Software, Mechanical, and Machine Learning Engineers and Data Analysts is rapidly expanding to meet the demand for the company’s current and upcoming products.

Our employees work on cutting-edge technologies that blend science with real-world applications. We invite you to join our team for the exciting journey ahead as we become the global leader in industrial imaging.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Field Deployment Specialist to join DarkVision Australia, supporting operations out of Toowoomba, QLD. You will be responsible for deploying DarkVision’s technology in various jobs and well types across Australia. You’ll be working with different oil and gas operators, service companies, deployment systems and personnel, and will be personally responsible for the successful execution of each job.

The essential characteristics of the successful candidate are that they are very hard-working and a self-starter. The ability to travel extensively and spend lots of time in the field is an absolute must in this role. Our Operations and Engineering teams will support you, but you’ll be the person on-site responsible for the job, along with communications to the customer.

Role Expectations

• Field-Based Role: This is a hands-on field position. The successful candidate should be interested in growing within field-based roles for the next 3-5 years.
• Schedule: No even-time (equal days on/days off) rotations are offered at this time. Schedules are driven by customer demand and job requirements, so time on and off will vary.
• Extensive Travel: The role involves extensive travel to well sites across Australia, often in remote locations, and may include international travel to support the wider business.
• Flexibility: Job scopes, locations and schedules can change, sometimes at short notice. The ability to adapt and pivot to meet these changes is essential.
• Experience Level: This is a mid-career role. We are looking for an experienced field professional who can work independently on-site with minimal supervision.
• Advancement: As the business in the region develops, there is a high likelihood of advancement for candidates willing to join at this stage.

Responsibilities

• Deployments: Run each job from start to finish: mobilization, rig-up, running the tools in the customer’s well, and rig-down. You’ll coordinate with site personnel and service companies throughout to make sure every job is completed safely and successfully.
• Preparation for Jobs: Ensuring that tools, parts, trucks, and critical equipment are checked, cleaned, calibrated, and verified for each job is a natural part of deploying the technology. Taking care of the tools, fixing, cleaning, testing, and refurbishing.
• Communications: Quick, clear, and effective communication with customers, site personnel, and DarkVision staff is your responsibility. This ensures deployments are successful and everyone has the information they need.
• Troubleshooting: Deploying new technology naturally necessitates troubleshooting problems that arise on-site in real-time. You’ll be supported by the engineering and operations teams, but the ability to figure things out quickly, improvise and succeed under pressure will be critical to overall job success. The capacity to both anticipate and solve field problems is paramount.
• Product Input & Feedback: Provide feedback and ideas on improving the product, technology, and operational processes to increase efficiency, quality, and scalability of the overall business. Feedback from the field is critical and will be incorporated directly into the engineering team to improve existing and future products.
• Travel: The successful candidate will travel throughout Australia and may also travel internationally to deploy the technology with various oil and gas operators. Travel is a critical component of the job, and a flexible personal life that can support a career where time away from home is the norm is an absolute must.

Requirements

• Location: Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, the Toowoomba, QLD area. Experience working with Australian operators and service companies is a strong asset.
• Mid-Career Experience: Several years of field experience in oil and gas, wireline, logging or a related field service role. You should be comfortable running jobs on-site independently and representing the company to customers.
• Wireline/Logging Experience: Experience deploying other logging technologies using wireline, tractor, coil, and various other deployment methods.
• Oil Field Service Experience: General experience with downhole equipment, well construction, completions etc., would be another important asset.
• Technical Background: A technical or engineering background would be helpful in better understanding the technology and how it works; however, it is not a hard requirement.
• Career-Focused: If you’re looking to work hard, advance your career, and get paid well while learning about downhole imaging, you’ve come to the right place.
• Growth Potential & Career Advancement: DarkVision is experiencing rapid growth with new technologies, products and markets, and our Australian business is in its early stages. Candidates who join now are highly likely to see opportunities for increased responsibility, pay and career advancement as the business in the region develops.
• Technology Enthusiast: DarkVision works on some very new, innovative, and complex technologies. We also leverage all kinds of the latest tools and technologies across our business (we are, after all, a technology company that happens to be in the oil field service business). The desire to learn, play with and embrace new technologies and software systems is part of being a DarkVision employee.
• Communication Skills: The ability to communicate problems, concerns, and discrepancies to stakeholders in a direct but diplomatic way is a natural part of the role.

Why DarkVision

• Well-Funded: We are backed by Blackstone and actively work with top-tier operators around the world.
• ‘A’ Players: Our team is made up of talented, intelligent, and hardworking people. If you’re an ‘A’ player, you’ll enjoy the intellectually stimulating, challenging and respectfully competitive atmosphere.
