Job DescriptionJob Purpose:Lead the definition, development, and execution of the Well Construction Platform digital vision, establishing a unified digital ecosystem that connects engineering, planning, operational execution, and performance insights across the well construction lifecycle. This role is responsible for driving a platform-led transformation that improves Service Efficiency, reduces Non-Productive Time (NPT), lowers operational risk, and enables repeatable performance across global drilling campaigns. Transform the organization from product-line-centric software development to a platform-led operating model by creating a shared digital foundation that serves Drilling Services (DS), Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Wireline (WL), TRS, Drilling Fluids (DF), and future well construction technologies.
The platform will create a continuous digital thread linking planning, engineering, execution, analytics, and optimization while establishing the foundational capabilities required for remote operations and future autonomous well construction.
Responsibilities:Platform Strategy & Vision- Define and maintain the long-term Well Construction Platform digital roadmap.
- Establish a common platform architecture that addresses 70-80% of shared business requirements across product lines.
- Drive alignment between business objectives, technology investments, and operational outcomes.
- Develop business cases demonstrating value through service efficiency, risk reduction, operational consistency, and increased automation.
Product Portfolio Transformation- Evaluate existing DS, MPD, WL, and related digital products for strategic fit, overlap, and platform alignment.
- Lead portfolio rationalization efforts to reduce duplication and maximize reuse of common capabilities.
- Champion workflow-centric development approaches over standalone application development.
- Establish governance processes for platform adoption and product-line extensions.
Digital Foundation DevelopmentLead the development of core platform capabilities including:
- Unified real-time and historical data ingestion
- Common well construction data model
- Master data management for wells, assets, customers, and users
- Analytics and reporting services
- AI/ML enablement framework
- Event management and alarm systems
- Integration and API services
- Security, compliance, and data governance frameworks
- Offset well analysis
- Risk identification and mitigation
- Hydraulics modelling
- Mechanical engineering workflows
- BHA design and optimization
- Well trajectory planning
- Engineering collaboration and review processes
Engineering DigitizationDrive digitization and standardization of engineering workflows such as:
Stakeholder Leadership- Act as the executive liaison between Product Lines, Engineering, Operations, Digital Technology, and Commercial organizations.
- Influence senior leadership on investment priorities and strategic direction.
- Build alignment across diverse stakeholders with competing priorities.
- Communicate platform value, adoption plans, and business outcomes.
Technology Expectations- Percentage of common capabilities reused across product lines
- Data quality and accessibility improvements
- System integration coverage
- AI/analytics utilization rates
- Platform reliability and scalability metrics
Qualifications:- Bachelor's degree in engineering, Computer Science, Geoscience, or related technical field; MBA or relevant business certification preferred.
- 5+ years of experience in product management within oilfield services or industrial environments, with demonstrated ownership of products that integrate hardware, field operations, and digital capabilities.
- Direct experience with multiple OFS product lines
- Demonstrated ability to translate technical capabilities into commercial value.
- Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience with wireline telemetry, real-time data systems (e.g., Warrior, Wellsite), or log interpretation platforms is a plus
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Strong leadership and communication skills to work across teams and with customers.
- Demonstrated experience translating operational challenges into structured, scalable workflows or digital frameworks within complex service environments.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States
Skills:- Working knowledge of energy data standards (e.g., WITSML) and system integration principles, with the ability to evaluate practical implementation impact on field operations.
- Practical understanding of applying analytics or automation within operational workflows where data quality, context integrity, and decision defensibility are critical.
- Familiarity with platforms like Techlog, Spotfire, Petrel, or cloud-based analytics portals.
- Field experience with Wireline or Slickline operations is a strong advantage.
- Experience with Agile development methodologies.
- Proficiency in product management tools (e.g., Jira, Aha!, Trello).
- Understanding of financial modelling and business case development.
- Ability to assess digital initiatives critically and prioritize based on operational impact, execution feasibility, and commercial value.
- Comfortable operating in environments where processes may be loosely defined and capable of driving clarity, structure, and alignment without excessive rigidity.
