About The Position

SLB is seeking a strategic Unconventional Digital Technical Manager to embed the Digital Thread and drive Performance and Reliability at scale. At SLB, performance is engineered, measured, and continuously improved, where scale and repetition define success. Digital is a critical enabler of reliability, efficiency, and differentiation. This role focuses on embedding the Digital Thread across product lines, connecting data, workflows, and decisions from design through execution to production optimization. The manager will partner with SLB product lines (Artificial Lift, Chemistry, Surveillance, Data & AI, Subsurface, Drilling) to integrate digital into core unconventional workflows, enabling Performance by Design. They will drive the deployment of SLB digital platforms to connect subsurface, well construction, and production domains into a unified Data & AI ecosystem. A key responsibility is to establish and scale the Digital Thread, ensuring data continuity from planning to execution, production operations, re-development, and increased recovery. The role involves leveraging real-time data, automation, and AI/analytics to transition operations from reactive to predictive and prescriptive, ultimately improving operational KPIs such as stage execution efficiency, non-productive time, asset utilization, and production outcomes. The manager will champion Reliability and Quality by ensuring digital solutions meet SLB standards for safety, uptime, field robustness, and market fit. They will lead cross-functional execution across product lines, digital, and field teams, ensuring solutions are adopted and sustained in North America Land, while accelerating fit-for-basin solutions with potential for global scalability.
