About The Position

The Delaware Operations Center (DOC) Operator monitors and optimizes oil and gas production across well sites and central facilities from a centralized control room. The role uses Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to track real‑time conditions, respond to alarms, and coordinate field activities so production targets are met safely and efficiently. You will apply disciplined alarm management and cross‑functional collaboration practices to maintain stable operations, reduce downtime, and support safe decision‑making during normal and abnormal conditions. This is an office-based role with a 7/7 day‑night rotating schedule. You will coordinate activities with multi‑skill field operators and engineering teams to keep equipment running, manage product movements, and validate production losses so repeat failures are prevented.

Collaborate with operations, maintenance, and engineering teams; share real-time data and agree on priorities that improve production, safety, and reliability.
Track, analyze, and validate production losses daily and monthly; capture causes, confirm corrective actions, and prevent repeat events.
Issue and communicate work priorities to multi-skill operators (MSO); adjust plans when conditions change and ensure safe execution aligned with permits and procedures.
Support incident command and regulatory documentation during abnormal conditions and events; ensure records align with applicable policies and regulatory requirements.
Collaborate with engineering for data requests and troubleshooting; share trends and observations to resolve operational issues and improve equipment performance.
Own production and downtime performance in your area of responsibility; drive corrective actions and maintain lease obligations by sustaining production.
