Partner with the best
 

The Senior Well Intervention Engineer should have direct experience on projects that progressed from opportunity framing and design through pre-FEED/FEED, execution, post-job evaluation, and production or integrity performance monitoring.

The role requires working knowledge of the individual products and service components that make up the integrated intervention value chain, including well access, pressure control, conveyance, downhole tools, stimulation, remediation, diagnostics, integrity repair, abandonment support, logistics, and operational risk management.

As a Senior Well Intervention Engineer, you will be responsible for:

  • Defining fit-for-purpose intervention strategies for mature wells, including rigless interventions, workovers, recompletions, stimulation, cleanout, water shutoff, integrity remediation, and abandonment preparation.
  • Selecting and challenging downhole technologies, tools, deployment methods, and operational envelopes required for production restoration, injectivity improvement, access remediation, or safe abandonment.
  • Identifying the reservoir, production, well integrity, completion, facilities, HSE, logistics and commercial inputs needed during design. Ask the right questions early to avoid unrealistic intervention scopes.
  • Applying lessons from interventions that were executed in the field, including pre-job planning, operational constraints, post-job diagnostics, production response, injectivity response, integrity confirmation, and lessons learned.
  • Defining intervention sequence, resource requirements, rig or rigless assumptions, pressure control needs, logistics, HSE exposure, cost drivers, and schedule implications.
  • Quantifying production restoration potential, injectivity gains, integrity risk reduction, abandonment readiness, and associated execution risks for proposal and investment support.
  • Reviewing well intervention scopes, mentor junior engineers, and ensure assumptions are realistic, executable, and aligned with integrated field management objectives.


Fuel your passion
 

To be successful in this role you will:
 

  • Have BSc in Petroleum, Mechanical, or Wells Engineering.
  • 15+ years experience in well interventions, completions, workovers, well integrity, and mature field production restoration.
  • Have deep understanding of downhole tools, intervention methods, well access constraints, pressure control, and abandonment-related practices.
  • Have proven ability to frame intervention-led value propositions and defend execution assumptions with clients and senior stakeholders.


Work in a way that works for you
 

We recognize that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:
 

  • Working flexible hours - flexing the times when you work in the day to help you fit in everything in and work when you are the most productive
