- Approving procurement and equipment purchasing requirements, and keeping engineering capability aligned with evolving technology
- Establishing regular customer contact, growing the client base, and identifying opportunities in the wider oil and gas field service market
- Preparing and following through on tenders from submission to conclusion
- Monitoring the company's financial performance and contributing to its overall commercial health
- Creating and promoting a strong QHSE culture, embedding QHSE principles into decision-making, and ensuring effective risk identification and management
- Ensuring full compliance with company policies, procedures, and all applicable Quality, Health, Safety, and Environmental requirements
Requirements
- Minimum 10 years' experience, including at least 5 years in a management role
- Engineering degree in a relevant field (Drilling, Geology, Mechanical, or Electrical), or equivalent experience
- Fluency in written and spoken English
- Strong numerical and financial acumen
