About The Position

The Tubular Services Technician III is a senior field technician who independently performs complex tubular services operations, including casing running, conventional torque turn, and CDS equipment activities. The role validates job requirements, leads safe rig-up and rig-down, operates and troubleshoots specialized mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and data-acquisition equipment, and serves as a technical resource for field crews and customer representatives. The position supports operational reliability by resolving field issues, maintaining complete job and equipment documentation, training less-experienced technicians, and promoting consistent safety, quality, and service standards. The position works primarily in field and rig environments, including outdoor locations and non-climate-controlled work areas, with routine exposure to the elements and moderately noisy conditions. Prolonged or irregular work hours may be required based on operational needs. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Nabors is a leading provider of advanced technology for the energy industry, with operations in about 20 countries. The company leverages capabilities in drilling, engineering, automation, data science, and manufacturing to develop solutions for safe, efficient, and responsible hydrocarbon production and to support the transition to a lower-carbon world.
