About the Company

Partnering with a leading, privately held energy operator specializing in acquiring and optimizing mature oil & gas assets across the U.S. The organization owns and operates the majority of its assets, meaning your work directly influences production, efficiency, and profitability on a daily basis.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary + performance-based bonuses
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) with company match and other retirement benefits
• Generous paid time off and holidays
• Life and disability insurance
• Tuition assistance and professional development opportunities
• Wellness programs and employee support resources
• Flexible work environment with strong work‑life balance focus

Culture

• Collaborative, team‑first environment with direct access to leadership
• Friendly, relationship‑driven culture with strong internal support
• Emphasis on empowering engineers to make decisions and drive change
• Stable organization with decades of success across market cycles

What You’ll Be Doing

• Optimize field operations to increase production, reduce costs, and improve asset performance
• Analyze production data, identify trends, and implement efficiency improvements across wells and facilities
• Partner with field teams, operations, and leadership to execute production strategies
• Troubleshoot operational issues and recommend engineering solutions
• Support capital projects, workovers, and facility upgrades
• Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and regulatory standards
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on efficiency, uptime, and emissions reduction

What They’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Petroleum, Mechanical, Chemical, or related)
• 2–4+ years of experience in oil & gas operations, production, or field engineering
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills
• Experience working with production data, well performance, and field optimization
• Ability to work cross‑functionally with field personnel and leadership
• Hands‑on mindset with a desire to own outcomes rather than just analyze them

Why This Role Stands Out

• True operational ownership – over 90% of assets are operated, so your work has an immediate impact
• High visibility – work directly with decision‑makers in a flat, collaborative structure
• Variety – exposure to multiple basins, assets, and operational challenges
• Growth – opportunity to expand into leadership, asset management, or technical specialization
