ABOUT THE ROLE
The Field Logistics Manager (FLM) manages the regional allocation, utilization, and stewardship of Wells' field crews, cranes, equipment, and rigging resources, working with Field Operations Managers to keep the right resources deployed to support project execution.
The FLM maintains a regional view of resource demand and capacity, develops forecasts, coordinates mobilization, manages Wells-owned assets, and oversees the Helical Division. This person supports the Director of Field Operations in overall project management of past, present, and upcoming projects, and reports directly to the Director of Field Operations as a core member of the Field Operations leadership team.
Salary range ($116,021 - $162,790). Based on location and experience.
SAFETY IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. Safety is our highest priority. We believe a safe workplace is built on mutual respect, care, and accountability. Every team member is empowered and expected to follow safety practices, look out for one another, and speak up about potential risks. Together, we create an environment where everyone goes home safely each day.
WHY JOIN OUR TEAM?
At Wells, you’re part of a team that takes pride in building something that lasts. Whether you’re in operations, a manufacturing facility, or out in the field, your work plays a direct role in creating quality structures that support our communities. We value hard work, reliability, and teamwork because getting the job done right requires teamwork. With a strong focus on safety, collaboration, and ingenuity, we create an environment where you can build your experience, contribute to meaningful work, and make an impact.

Wells provides a competitive benefits package designed to support employees’ health, financial well-being, and work-life balance. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, company-paid disability and life insurance, wellness incentives, paid holidays, PTO, flexible spending accounts, HSA options, a 401(k) with profit sharing, access to Nice Healthcare, employee assistance resources, pet insurance, and additional voluntary coverage such as critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity plans.
- Health and family care leave is available to both union and non-union employees.
- Union employee benefits are provided through separate collective bargaining agreements

Regional Resource Planning & Performance
- Maintain a regional view of field resource capacity, demand, and utilization; develop long-range forecasts for crews, cranes, equipment, and rigging.
- Set regional allocation priorities with Field Operations Managers, balancing project needs against business priorities.
- Identify resource constraints early and resolve them before they impact execution.
- Track utilization and performance metrics; use data to improve forecasting, allocation, and asset decisions, escalating systemic issues to the Director of Field Operations.
- Establish and maintain operational metrics for necessary KPI's.
Equipment, Crane & Rigging Management
- Own the regional equipment and crane strategy: utilization, deployment, storage, maintenance, and lifecycle of Wells-owned assets.

Leadership & Cross-Functional Collaboration
