Senior Drilling Engineer

The Senior Drilling Engineer will support the planning, design, engineering, and execution of complex geothermal well construction programs. This role translates subsurface, reservoir, completions, and development objectives into safe, practical, field-ready drilling plans, with responsibility for well design quality, operational readiness, risk mitigation, cost and schedule estimates, and continuous improvement across the drilling lifecycle.

This position works closely with exploration geology, reservoir engineering, completions, mechanical engineering, HSE, supply chain, permitting, and field operations teams to prepare drilling programs that can be executed safely and efficiently in the field. Success requires strong drilling engineering fundamentals, hands-on operational judgment, disciplined technical assurance, and the ability to adapt conventional oil and gas drilling practices to high-temperature geothermal applications and first-of-a-kind well architectures.

This role is expected to provide engineering support before, during, and after field operations, including periodic travel to drilling sites and vendor or partner locations. Field support may include participation in pre-job planning, contractor readiness reviews, rig-up or rig-over activities, daily operations calls, technical troubleshooting, after-action reviews, and end-of-well reporting.
