• Self-directed, organized, and capable of managing concurrent projects under tight timelines.

Responsibilities

• Develop integrated geologic products, maps, and visualizations that answer critical development and commercial questions.
• Partner directly with Operations and Reservoir Engineers to integrate geologic interpretation into drilling execution, development planning, and performance evaluation.
• Provide geologic input before, during, and after drilling activities to support real-time decision-making.
• Prepare clear, technically defensible maps, cross sections, risk assessments, and summaries to support executive review, capital planning, and development decisions.
• Present new workflows, technical assessments, and software applications to advance subsurface understanding across the organization.
• Plan, permit, and execute the drilling program and data collection efforts — defining geologic objectives, well targets, and required subsurface data.
• Coordinate with internal teams and regulatory stakeholders to support operated drilling activities and post-well evaluation.
• Manage timelines, contracts, and resources for geologic studies, drilling support, and technical data acquisition.
• Ensure work is delivered on schedule, within scope, and integrated into asset development workflows.
• Lead geoscience operational planning and execution in coordination with Operations and Reservoir Engineering.
