Geothermal Completions Engineer | Field Leader & Innovator

Fervo Energy Company; Houston (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Fervo Energy Company is seeking a Completions Engineer to design and execute advanced geothermal completions and interventions in a dynamic field environment. You will translate subsurface objectives into safe, repeatable field operations and collaborate with subsurface, drilling, production, and facilities teams in Houston and field locations.

The role requires strong field instincts, expertise in completions or interventions, and the ability to adapt standard playbooks for geothermal

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or 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.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical design, planning, and execution of geothermal well completions, stimulations, and workover/intervention operations.
• Develop detailed, step-by-step operational procedures to safely achieve well objectives in compliance with regulatory and internal HSE requirements.
• Provide hands-on field engineering support during active operations and serve as the primary point of contact for completion and intervention-related issues.
• Support execution across the full well lifecycle, including initial completions, stimulation, recompletions, remedial work, and well interventions.
• Partner with subsurface and reservoir engineering teams to optimize completion architecture, stimulation designs, and operational parameters.
• Utilize ResFrac or other industry-leading simulators to evaluate fracture behavior, completion efficiency, and well performance.
• Support cross-functional well planning and field development optimization efforts across drilling, production, and facilities teams.
• Translate subsurface objectives into executable field designs that balance performance, risk, and cost.
• Develop completion and workover cost estimates ranging from early scoping estimates to detailed AFE-level and probabilistic estimates.
• Support well planning and operational scheduling activities in coordination with cross-functional teams.
• Compile technical and operational data required for permitting, regulatory filings, and internal approvals.
• Support preparation of technical documentation for internal and external reviews.
• Apply risk assessment, hazard analysis, and MOC processes to planned and active operations.
• Lead post-job reviews and after-action analyses to capture lessons learned and identify best practices.
• Drive continuous improvement by incorporating operational learnings into future designs, procedures, and standards.
• Travel frequently to field locations to oversee operations and maintain close collaboration with field personnel.
