Production Technician I

Keep our Rockies wells producing safely and reliably, working side by side with field operations and engineering.

Why this role matters

Every hour a well is down costs production. This role spots problems early, helps fix them fast and feeds what it learns back to engineering so the same failure does not happen twice.

The Production Technician supports daily production operations by monitoring well performance, assisting with troubleshooting and performing routine maintenance. You will work closely with field operations and engineering to keep production safe, efficient and reliable across assigned assets.
