What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a long-term role in wellsite operations where I can apply well control, tubular running, and HSE procedures, grow through structured training, and contribute to accurate operational reporting on high-pressure drilling projects.

I’m a Petroleum Engineering professional with a strong academic foundation in reservoir engineering, formation evaluation, drilling engineering, well testing, and production fundamentals. I bring analytical, disciplined, and detail-oriented habits developed through operational reporting and process monitoring in HSE-supervised environments.

In my current role as a Graduate Trainee in Tubular Running Services (TRS), I support casing running operations on an onshore drilling project, using hydraulic power tongs and related TRS tools. I assist with well construction sequences, casing landing and cementing coordination, torque-turn monitoring to verify makeup integrity, pre-job function tests, rig-up/rig-down readiness, and post-job maintenance reporting—applying IWCF well control standards and HSE procedures throughout.

Alongside wellsite training, I’ve supported HSEQ activities as an HSEQ Night Supervisor, coordinating toolbox meetings, work permits, risk assessments, contractor compliance, emergency readiness, and incident/near-miss reporting. I also completed engineering and laboratory internships where I strengthened my ability to monitor pressure/flow systems, troubleshoot equipment, and maintain accurate technical documentation.
