geothermal drilling engineer
Ever wondered what it would be like to rebuild modern civilization from scratch?
As a geothermal drilling engineer at Rivendell, you'll own our exploratory and production drilling for water/brine/steam in the subsurface. This position is almost a bit of a misnomer because we're looking for someone who can handle a lot more scope than just designing a drilling/well construction program. As a ridiculously vertically-integrated company, we have eyes on owning our own drilling rig construction/maintenance operation, and so ideally we're looking for someone who has the skillset you'd get at Aramco managing workover rigs and also the skillset you'd get at Honghua Group building them. We'd also love if you know a bit about drill-and-blast in the mining industry as we'll be doing that, too.
Preferred qualifications
- well control certification
- Bachelor's in petroleum/mechanical/chemical engineering, geology, or a related discipline
- 5+ years of relevant drilling engineering and well construction experience in geothermal (best) or oil and gas
- done casing and cementing design work
- written an AFE for workover
- used COMPASS, WELLCAT, RimBase, or WellView before
- can operate an electronic drilling recorder
- know how to read MWD, LWD, and PWD data and diagnose problems
annual salary: 120,000.00 USD
