POSITION SUMMARY

Our client is seeking an experienced Completion Engineer. The ideal candidate brings a proven track record designing and executing completions in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) environments and is equally comfortable building a frac design in the office and making real-time decisions on location. This role owns completion design, execution, and post-job evaluation for horizontal wells, working closely with drilling, production, reservoir, and operations teams to safely deliver top-tier well performance at competitive cost.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design completions for long-lateral HPHT wells
• Lead frac, wireline, coiled tubing, and drill-out operations in the field
• Select and qualify HPHT-rated equipment and materials

• Analyze completion and production data to optimize future designs
• Promote a strong HSE culture and regulatory compliance
• Collaborate with geology, reservoir, drilling, and production teams

Requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Petroleum, Mechanical, Chemical, or a related engineering discipline
• 8+ years of completions engineering experience, with significant hands-on experience in HPHT unconventional wells
• Demonstrated experience designing and executing multi-stage hydraulic fracturing in long-lateral horizontal wells
• Strong operational background, including field supervision of frac, wireline, coiled tubing, and drill-out operations
• Working knowledge of casing design, tubular stress analysis, and HPHT wellhead and pressure control equipment
• Comfort working with big data and machine learning tools to analyze completion performance and drive design decisions
• Ability to work independently with minimal oversight in a small-team environment
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to field locations as needed

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Haynesville or other deep gas completion experience
• Experience with simul-frac, e-frac, and other efficiency-driven completion techniques
• Experience with refracs, offset frac-hit mitigation, and parent-child well interaction
• Familiarity with Louisiana and Texas regulatory requirements
