Launch Your Career as a Field Engineer with Weatherford

Are you ready to kick-start your engineering career in a hands-on, high-impact role? At Weatherford, our Field Engineers are the essential connection between our cutting-edge technologies and the real-world challenges faced in oil and gas rigs.

This is more than just a job - it's an adventure. You'll be working in the field, often at remote rig sites, where you'll gain unmatched experience and responsibility from day one. Whether it's assembling equipment, analyzing data, or solving problems on the fly, you'll be at the heart of operations that matter.

Your Development Journey

You'll be enrolled in our 4-year Field Engineer Technical Development Program, which blends classroom learning with real-world experience:
  • Year 1: Work with guidance and take part in hands-on training at one of our global centers. Travel may be needed to gain real-world experience
  • Year 2: Take on more responsibility at the wellsite while continuing to grow your technical skills through hands-on and classroom training
  • Years 3 & 4: Expanding your knowledge and skills, and may lead teams at the wellsite while serving as the main contact for our clients

Your day-to-day could include:
  • Prepare, deploy, and operate advanced downhole tools to meet specific wellsite objectives
  • Utilize cutting-edge simulation software to design and optimize wellsite solutions tailored to client needs
  • Analyze performance data and recommend improvements
  • Manage equipment logistics and ensure seamless setup and operation at the rig site
  • Create detailed post-job reports and share actionable insights with clients and internal teams
  • Champion a culture of continuous improvement with a strong focus on safety, quality, and performance
  • Deliver front-line engineering support to our customers throughout operations, resolving issues independently

What We're Looking For
  • Graduated with bachelor's degree in engineering (all fields) within the last 24 months
  • No more than 1 year of experience
  • English language fluent proficiency (written and spoken)
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to analyze complex problems, apply critical thinking, and make informed decisions
  • A passion for hands-on work and learning in dynamic environments (onshore and offshore)

What to Expect

This role is physically and mentally demanding. You'll work 12-hour shifts (day or night), often in tough weather conditions. You may be away from home for extended periods, including weekends and holidays. But if you're up for the challenge, the rewards are big.

You'll join one of our specialized product lines, such as:
  • Completions
  • Drilling Services
  • Wireline Services
  • Artificial Lift
  • Well Services
  • Managed Pressure Drilling...and many more

Why Join Us?
  • Fast-track your career with structured development and mentorship
  • Work with cutting-edge technology in real-world settings
  • Travel, learn, and grow with a global leader in energy services
  • Open doors to future roles in operations, product management, sales, and more
