About this role
Job 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 Development Lead 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
Engineering Digitization Drive digitization and standardization of engineering workflows such as:
• Offset well analysis • Risk identification and mitigation • Hydraulics modeling • Mechanical engineering workflows • BHA design and optimization • Well trajectory planning • Engineering collaboration and review processes 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. #LI-AM1
