Injection Engineering Manager

• Lead structured troubleshooting during abnormal operating conditions — including pump, filtration, viscosity, pressure, flow, and injection issues — by forming hypotheses, designing tests, analyzing results, and documenting root-cause findings. • Make real-time operational decisions regarding filtration strategy, viscosity/heating management, recirculation vs. injection, escalation pathways, and stop-work authority, while balancing risk, cost, and value. • Own the on-site interface for PLC, HMI, automation, and downhole-sensor modifications; receive, validate, execute, and troubleshoot changes from the controls and automation engineering teams. • Drive operational reliability and process optimization through disciplined data collection, monitoring, and engineering analysis. • Lead development of the sample, lab, and data-quality program to ensure engineering, regulatory, and operational teams receive high-quality data on the first request. • Maintain rigorous shift-handover and engineering communication standards so off-shift engineers can accurately reconstruct plant conditions from documentation alone. • Capture abnormal-event investigations, lessons learned, and process improvements in transferable documentation that supports future site deployment. • Publish and maintain the weekly operator schedule on a consistent cadence while proactively managing PTO coverage and staffing continuity. • Own site administrative systems including ADP/payroll coordination, timecard accuracy, PTO/overtime approvals, training matrices, and SOP redlines. • Ensure operational readiness for continuous 24/7 facility execution without chronic overtime dependency. • Coach operators in diagnostic and systems thinking; not just what actions to take, but why systems behave the way they do and what indicators matter. • Build and maintain site operating rhythms that support high accountability, technical rigor, and strong communication across shifts. • Assist the Process Specialist with onboarding and operator development through structured training and qualification checkpoints and performance coaching. • Build a strong operational bench capable of supporting continuous operations and future site expansion. • Contribute to development of the long-term “next-site” operating playbook, including SOPs, training systems, troubleshooting frameworks, and operational standards.

• BS in Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, or related engineering discipline — or equivalent demonstrated technical depth through field operations experience. • 7+ years of operating experience in produced-water injection, SWD, EOR, chemical process plants, midstream liquids handling, refining, or comparable fluid-systems operations. • Demonstrated experience leading structured troubleshooting for abnormal operating conditions involving pumps, filters, viscosity, pressure, flow, or injection systems. • Experience working with complex industrial fluid systems where operational decisions directly impact reliability, throughput, and safety. • Ability to communicate technical findings clearly in writing, especially during uncertain or rapidly evolving operating conditions. • Direct supervisory experience leading crews of 20-40 operators across shifts in an industrial environment. • Experience owning operational systems such as scheduling, payroll/timecards, training programs, SOP management, and workforce planning. • Strong organizational and prioritization skills in fast-paced, ambiguous, and novel-process environments. • Ability to relocate or commit to a long-stay rotation in rural Louisiana for the full 1–2 year assignment. • Valid driver’s license. • Ability to pass pre-employment background, drug, and physical screening. • Hands-on experience with Class I, II, V, or VI injection wells, including downhole pressure and temperature interpretation. • Experience in refinery, terminal, or downstream oil operations involving tanks, pumps, compressors, filtration systems, and associated process equipment. • Experience working with PLC/HMI-controlled facilities and collaborating directly with controls engineers on change management. • Direct hiring-manager experience in a payroll-regulated environment using ADP, Kronos, UKG, or similar systems. • Experience writing and improving SOPs, MOCs, incident investigations, and abnormal-event reports. • Track record of scaling operations teams from small startup crews into fully staffed 24/7 organizations. • Leadership at multiple locations across multiple states • Comfort working with novel processes and unconventional feedstocks — including bio-oil and biogenic materials that do not behave like traditional hydrocarbon streams.
