Frac Completions Engineer Trainee
About The Position
The Frac Completions Engineer Trainee (EIT) is a structured, time-bound development role designed to prepare entry-level engineers for progression into a Remote Completions Engineering position within six months. This role involves developing a deep understanding of hydraulic fracturing operations, from equipment function and job execution to real-time monitoring and data management. The trainee will gain exposure to field operations through shadowing and will support remote monitoring by tracking critical job data, analyzing trends, and ensuring data accuracy. The position emphasizes developing strong digital engineering habits and proficiency in digital workflows and remote monitoring systems.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) discipline preferred.
- Willing to learn both field-based and remote hydraulic fracturing operations, including time around active wellsite operations before progressing into ROC-based responsibilities.
- Able to maintain an organized digital workspace, accurate record keeping, consistent file naming, and disciplined documentation practices.
- Must be a critical thinker who can learn new technical systems, ask good questions, identify issues, and support proactive and reactive problem solving.
- Willing to be assertive and speak up about unsafe work practices.
- Must be a team player who demonstrates personal accountability, coachability, attention to detail, and commitment to continuous learning and self-improvement.
Responsibilities
- Develop a working understanding of hydraulic fracturing operations, including equipment function, job flow, stage execution, and field-to-ROC communication.
- Participate in field shadowing to understand wellsite operations, safety practices, and crew workflows.
- Gain exposure to fluid systems, lab testing procedures, and material performance to understand their impact on job execution, treatment quality, and remote monitoring.
- Support real-time frac monitoring by tracking stage progression, treatment data, pump schedules, material usage, and operational timelines with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
- Use engineering dashboards and reports to monitor pressure/rate trends, chemical performance, stage timing, and operational exceptions; clearly communicate and escalate deviations in a timely manner.
- Support Remote Completions Engineering operations by contributing to pre-job readiness, live job communication, shift handoffs, and disciplined issue escalation within the ROC environment.
- Own the accuracy and integrity of operational data by validating treatment inputs, material tracking, well information, and customer-specific documentation used by ROC and field leadership.
- Support post-job reporting and debrief preparation by organizing data, validating stage summaries, and documenting operational learnings for internal and customer-facing review.
- Develop strong digital engineering habits, including structured data management, accurate system inputs, effective use of dashboards and reporting tools, and consistent documentation practices that support scalable analytics and future automation.
- Develop proficiency in digital workflows and remote monitoring systems, demonstrating progression in data ownership, operational awareness, and decision-support capability for transition into a Remote Completions Engineering role.
- Maintain and enforce compliance with all Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) policies.
- Other duties as assigned.
