About The Position

Fervo is seeking an entry-level Completions Engineer to support the technical design, planning, and execution of geothermal well completions, stimulations, and workover activities. This role is designed for new graduates or engineers with 0-2 years of experience and includes a structured training period in Houston, followed by field operations in Utah, and then a return to Houston. The position involves progressive responsibility across the full well lifecycle, working closely with various engineering teams. Success requires strong analytical skills, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to safe and disciplined field execution.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
0–2 years of experience in completions, well interventions, or a related field — new graduates are encouraged to apply.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication and teamwork abilities.
Willingness to work a 14/14 rotational schedule at remote field locations.
Ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, execution-heavy environments with shifting priorities.
Commitment to safe work practices and environmental compliance.

Nice To Haves

Internship, co-op, or field exposure in completions, drilling, or workover operations.
Basic understanding of hydraulic fracturing, well stimulation, and wellbore construction fundamentals.
Familiarity with stimulation or completion modeling software (e.g., ResFrac, Kinetix, or similar).
Coursework or exposure to risk assessment, hazard analysis, or Management of Change (MOC) processes.
Interest in geothermal energy and first-of-a-kind, technically complex well designs.

Responsibilities

Participate in a structured training program covering completions engineering, stimulation design, and well intervention operations.
Collaborate with experienced engineers and mentors to learn company processes, standards, and best practices.
Assist in the preparation of completion and workover programs, detailed operational procedures, and post-job reports.
Build familiarity with stimulation and completion modeling software (e.g., ResFrac) and Fervo’s well data systems.
Support the Completions Supervisor and field leadership in daily completion, stimulation, and workover operations.
Monitor treating pressures, rates, volumes, and other operational parameters to help ensure safe and efficient execution.
Assist in the implementation of completion and intervention programs and verify adherence to procedures, regulatory requirements, and internal HSE standards.
Conduct on-site equipment and wellhead inspections and participate in safety meetings, pre-job briefings, and drills.
Collect and analyze completion and stimulation data to optimize operations and troubleshoot downhole and surface issues.
Maintain accurate records and daily reports on completion activities, materials consumption, and equipment performance.
Serve as an on-site technical resource and escalate completion- and intervention-related issues to the engineering team.
Apply field experience to support the planning and execution of completion, stimulation, and workover programs.
Analyze completion and well performance data and provide recommendations for design and procedural improvement.
Assist in the design and selection of completion equipment, tools, and materials.
Support the development of completion and workover cost estimates, from early scoping through AFE-level detail.
Compile technical and operational data required for permitting, regulatory filings, and internal approvals.
Partner with subsurface and reservoir engineering teams to help optimize completion architecture and stimulation designs.
Contribute to post-job reviews, lessons-learned capture, and continuous improvement initiatives across the completions organization.
