Senior Wells Engineer – GCD

Responsibilities

• Create executable well concepts from incomplete and uncertain subsurface data
• Plan wells from the ground up, applying rigor appropriate to Front End Loading (FEL) maturity
• Develop and refine well concepts iteratively across FEL stages
• Frame decisions in terms of options, risk, trade-offs, and value
• Balance technical accuracy with decision velocity
• Use engineering tools pragmatically to inform decisions
• Provide well inputs to early cost, risk, and value assessments
• Operate as a senior wells interface across subsurface, facilities, commercial, HSE, and project teams
• Communicate clearly and credibly with non-wells stakeholders and senior leaders
• Coach and mentor engineers in concept thinking, judgment, and prioritisation
• Work effectively in ambiguous, evolving environments
• Shape operator decisions by applying bp expertise

Requirements

• University degree in Science / Engineering / Economics or equivalent technical degree
• Typically 10+ years wells engineering experience, including early-phase or front-end work
• Strong understanding of drilling and completions fundamentals across various environments
• Demonstrated business and commercial awareness — thinks in terms of value, not just technical aspects of the project or well
• Proven ability to influence across disciplines through credibility and leadership presence
