Baker Hughes (Oil & Gas) Graduate Field Engineers Recruitment

Role Synopsis

Field engineers at Baker Hughes deliver front-line technical services and solutions across our drilling, evaluation, completion and production technologies. These are hands-on roles, often outdoors and in demanding or harsh conditions, such as offshore on an oil rig or onshore in the desert.

Key Responsibilities / Accountabilities

Field engineers are the key interface between Baker Hughes and our clients on the wellsite. You will be required to participate in the three-year LEAD Program to provide you with the ability to quickly become competent with our technologies and processes, enabling rapid career progression through a sequence of competency-based development steps.

LEAD involves theoretical and hands-on learning. It is flexible and adaptable to different job requirements and work environments. You will be assigned to a specific Baker Hughes product line whose activities may include:

artificial lift services

• logging while drilling
• drill bits
• wireline activities
• specialty chemicals
• wellbore intervention
• drilling fluids
• cased hole completions
• coring systems
• sand control systems
• directional systems
• wellbore construction

You will be required to participate in developmental activities which will initially focus on acquiring basic knowledge while working under supervision and will progress to working unsupervised, with a broadening scope of knowledge and skills.

Depending upon your product line assignment, you will be involved in technical activities which could include;

• Assembling and deploying down-hole equipment at base location prior to being dispatched to well-site. Down-hole equipment may be a combination of electrically, mechanically, or hydraulically activated and operated specialized equipment
• Designing well-site interventions under supervision using simulation software packages
• Analyzing rig-site performance data and recommending changes to product configurations
• Assisting sales representatives in business development activities including presenting to clients under supervision
