Further to my recent "work sharing" post, I'm actively looking for a new job. There are other issues with my current employer beyond the planned part-time pay that have me convinced that this is the best move for me.
So, I've already had people reach out to me to give me some ideas, and I really appreciate it. A couple beyonders are big-shots at places I'm working on. You guys know who you are. Mostly I don't need people to send me job postings. I see the job postings. What I need most is either a) you personally have influence on the hiring decision or b) you know the name and contact information for the person who is making the hiring decision.
The short-form description of me is: Petroleum Engineer with over 15 years of experience in downhole focused positions. Really broad experience at producer and service companies. Basically have touched every portion of the well life cycle.
Ideal roles are:
- Drilling, Completions, Production at producer companies. Would consider supply chain, capital planning, or risk management at the right place.
- Technical Sales, Application Engineering or Operations support roles at service companies
I'll repeat it, because this is either my biggest strength, or biggest weakness, but I have done a lot of different things. I'm a "big picture" kind of guy. I can add value to many different teams. If the ideal candidate for a role is a head-down, mouth closed, technical executor you can lock in a cube for 60 hours a week, that ain't me. I'm the guy you can throw into a presentation to the board of directors, your top customer, or your operations team without worrying. I can mentor your junior technical engineers, babysit your non-technical sales staff, or bring process improvements to your field crews. I'm also really comfortable writing technical and process documentation, project or training presentations, articles etc. I know engineers have a reputation for being poor communicators, but I'm the exception to that. (my shitposting here aside, or not)
anyway, I'm clearing time in my calendar for coffee or sandwich meetings. Hit me up, and if you are on LinkedIn let's connect there as well.
