Remote Completions Engineer (On-site)

ProPetro•Midland, TX

About The Position

The Remote Completions Engineer RCE-1 supports live hydraulic fracturing operations from the Remote Operations Center. The role monitors treatment data, communicates with field leadership, and maintains accurate stage and job reporting across active operations. It may support up to two active stations, data vans, or operators under single-well frac, zipper frac, or simulfrac conditions. The engineer prepares for job execution by reviewing treatment schedules, well information, material trackers, reporting templates, operator requirements, and communication expectations. During operations, the engineer tracks stage progression, treatment execution, timing, job status, and performance; monitors material usage; communicates discrepancies and escalates issues; and maintains handoff documentation. The role also validates reports and automated outputs, organizes post-job data for review and customer discussions, and uses Microsoft 365 tools, engineering dashboards, and reporting systems to support communication, data validation, documentation control, and shift coordination. The position requires compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment policies. Progression to RCE-2 requires demonstrated performance, successful completion of the RCE-1 readiness test, and certifications approved by Engineering leadership. The role involves shifts of 12 or more hours, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays, and has stated physical demands including lifting and climbing.
