Job Title: Senior Completions Engineer Ref ID: (SCE)

Location: Niger Delta Qualifications and

Skills

Bachelor's Degree in Petroleum, Mechanical, Chemical or Civil Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline. A Master's Degree in Petroleum Engineering is an advantage, as is membership of SPE or a recognised engineering body such as COREN. 12–15 years of hands-on experience in oil and gas well operations, with a minimum of 8 years in a senior or lead completions role, including offshore or swamp operations. A proven record of designing and executing completions across onshore, shallow-water and, ideally, deepwater wells, from conceptual design through installation and handover to production. Strong experience in upper and lower completion design, including tubing and packer systems, sand control (gravel pack, frac-pack, standalone screens), intelligent completions and artificial lift. Solid knowledge of well testing, perforating, stimulation and well intervention, including coiled tubing, wireline and workover operations. Working knowledge of well integrity, barrier philosophy and international standards such as API and ISO, as well as industry well construction requirements (IWCF or IADC WellSharp). Hands-on command of industry tools such as Landmark WellCat, Prosper and StimCADE, or equivalent completion design and modelling software. A track record of delivering completions programmes on schedule and within budget, with documented cost savings or performance improvements. Experience working with drilling, subsurface, production and facilities teams, as well as joint venture partners, regulators and service companies. Problem solving under pressure. When a job does not go to plan at 3 a.m., you stay calm, think clearly and bring the team to a good decision. Vendor and contractor management. You can challenge service companies constructively, evaluate technologies on merit and hold suppliers to what they promise. Clear communication. You can explain a technical recommendation to a rig crew, a partner or senior management in language each of them understands. Commercial awareness. You think about cost, schedule and value in every design choice, not just technical elegance. Minimum Knowledge and Experience: Design and deliver safe, efficient and cost-effective completion programmes for new wells, including upper and lower completions, sand control and artificial lift. Prepare detailed completion programmes, procedures, equipment specifications and well schematics, and make sure they are properly reviewed and approved. Work closely with geoscientists, reservoir engineers and drilling teams to select the right completion strategy for each reservoir and well objective. Provide technical supervision and decision support during completion operations, including onsite or remote support to the rig team. Plan and oversee well testing, perforating, stimulation, flowback and clean-up operations. Support workovers, interventions and well remediation to restore or improve production, and recommend candidates for well optimisation. Safeguard well integrity by applying robust barrier management, equipment verification and compliance with company and regulatory standards. Evaluate and select service providers and new technologies, manage vendor performance and contribute to tender and contract reviews. Lead post-job reviews, capture lessons learned, and keep completion standards, procedures and best practices up to date. Mentor and coach junior completions and wells engineers, review their work and help build a strong technical culture within the team. Uphold the Company's HSE standards, take part in risk assessments and hazard reviews, and contribute to emergency response readiness for well operations.
