This position offers an exceptional opportunity for an early-career professional to take ownership of vital technical designs and directly impact asset development. Positioned at the intersection of rigorous engineering and field execution, you will play a key role in driving operational efficiencies, managing costs, and implementing advanced technologies.

Location
This is a hybrid position based out of our Morgantown, West Virginia office. You will be expected to work in the office three days a week. Additionally, this role requires a significant, hands-on presence where the action happens. Candidates must be able and willing to travel to field sites up to 25 – 40% of the time to maintain a consistent field presence, provide on-call support for field operations, and bridge the gap between corporate engineering design and rig-site execution. What You Will Be Doing
As a Drilling Engineer, you will support design work, optimize performance metrics, and provide critical support to both corporate planning and field operations:
- Develop comprehensive drilling programs and procedures. Perform technical well design, including casing and tubing specifications, ensuring equipment and materials meet all company and regulatory standards.
- Analyze drilling metrics, interpret well logs, directional surveys, and geological data. Conduct offset pad and well research to benchmark peer technologies and identify process improvements.
- Monitor live drilling performance, maintain a consistent presence in the field, and provide direct technical support to the rig site to resolve operational challenges.
- Monitor and ensure the accurate tracking of field estimates versus planned expenditures to maintain project budget integrity.
- Participate in vendor evaluations to ensure third-party service quality meets company benchmarks. Support and champion safety, environmental compliance, and regulatory frameworks.
- Maintain precise records, provide on-call support for field operations, and collaborate seamlessly across teams to adapt to shifting operational priorities.
To excel in this role, you should bring a solid technical foundation, strong communication skills, and the flexibility required for dynamic field operations:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering is required.
- 1–3 years of professional experience within the oil and gas industry.
- Strong knowledge of drilling engineering principles, well design practices, and industry regulatory frameworks.
- Proficiency in data analytics with the ability to translate technical data into optimized operational solutions.
- Proven ability to interpret well logs, directional surveys, and geological data.
- Excellent problem-solving and decision-making skills, with the professional composure to handle high-pressure environments and changing priorities.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively collaborate with internal stakeholders and external service contractors.
- Schedule: Work may require extended hours, nights, or weekends during critical operations, including providing scheduled on-call support for field operations.
- Physical Demands: Ability to perform light work (exerting up to 20 pounds of force occasionally). Position requires standard manual dexterity and visual acuity to operate office, computer, and field safety equipment, alongside the physical ability to stand, walk, crouch, or stoop at field sites.
