Help prepare summaries, presentations, or documentation to communicate findings to Operations, HSSE, and Engineering stakeholders.
Willing and eager to learn, while helping drive process improvement initiatives across the POE team.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with Operations, HSSE, and Engineering teams.

Educational Requirements:

Currently enrolled in an accredited university pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree; Chemical, Mechanical, or Petroleum Engineering preferred, though other engineering disciplines may be considered.

WES reserves the right to change employee’s schedule if it is required by operations.
