Bedrock Energy
Bedrock Energy is on a mission to transform the heating and cooling of buildings using carbon‑free, hyper‑efficient, and ultra‑safe geothermal energy to radically reduce costs for people and the environment.
We are gathering exceptional talent to scale up geothermal heating/cooling for real estate and infrastructure developers worldwide. We seek creative, collaborative, and proactive team members who inspire us with high standards of excellence, integrity, and commitment to our shared mission.
Role
Technial Operations Lead – oversee clear, structured, and comprehensive drilling & completions engineering programs in field operations. This role drives technical integrity, operational compatibility, ROI efficiency, and clarity of Bedrock’s ambient geothermal construction. Responsibilities
Lead technical design and mentor operations engineers in development and validation of D&C programs. Approve borehole construction plans (drilling, completion, mud, BHAs, hydraulics). Provide real‑time technical support to field crews on downhole or surface equipment problems. Drive technical capability development through mentoring, structured training, and performance feedback. Review and technically approve operations engineers’ deliverables before execution. Validate engineering calculations for operational usability and technoeconomic optimization. Lead solutioning of complex technical analyses, directing operations engineers on timely, accurate, and practical solutions. Ensure consistency and accuracy in operations engineering products prior to execution. Establish development workflows for technical standards, procedures, and manuals. Collaborate closely with Technology Engineering to develop technical operations guidance for their technologies, tools, and equipment products. Collaborate closely with Field Operations to establish accountability processes and KPIs. Manage interface between operations engineering and field operations teams for new releases of technology and operational procedures. Oversee readiness, training, and risk mitigation planning for upcoming field operations. Coordinate communication and feedback between operations engineering and field operations to ensure seamless deployment and compliance. Oversee resources, schedules, and deliverables across the operations engineering team and external stakeholders (vendors, clients, corporate). Represent operations engineering in cross‑functional and corporate meetings to align technical initiatives with budget, strategy, and safety objectives. Support sales engineering for customer acquisition. Collaborate with Field Operations to ensure health & safety adherence and risk management. Ensure HSE compliance and borehole control readiness. Review and approve risk assessments and contingency plans. Conduct incident investigations and root‑cause analyses. Implement corrective actions and technical safeguards. Integrate daily lessons learned into subsequent operations. Develop trackers/workflows for continuous improvement in drilling & completions performance and reliability. Review daily drilling reports (DDR) and advise on parameter adjustments. Lead regular technical optimization reviews and after‑action analyses. Regularly evaluate construction efficiency and adherence to best practices in partnership with Field Operations Lead. Drive technical solutioning sprints and report cross‑functionally on progress and company implications. Benchmark rigs or teams and drive standardization of best practices. Champion data‑driven decision‑making by implementing digital drilling systems, real‑time analytics, and automation tools to optimize performance. Drive adoption of performance improvements across rigs and projects through structured rollout plans and measurable KPIs. Work closely with Product and Technology Engineering to identify, specify, and prioritize R&D projects. Typical Operations Engineering Deliverables
Daily and weekly operational performance reports. Borehole lookback and lessons‑learned reports. Technical and operational KPIs dashboards. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) and design templates. Post‑borehole technical summaries. Qualifications
Master’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline. 10–20 years of experience in drilling engineering, e.g., as a drilling engineer and/or O&G wellsite supervisor, with strong knowledge of drilling engineering principles (drilling fluids, wellbore stability, geomechanics, hydraulics, well control, torque and drag, and managed pressure drilling (MPD); rig and surface equipment operations, BHA dynamics; data‑driven performance optimization). 3+ years of people‑management experience. Knowledge of coiled‑tubing operations and geothermal borehole design and construction are preferred. Relevant certifications such as IWCF, WellCAP, Well Control. Familiar with software like WellPlan, Landmark, OpenWells, DrillOps, or WellView. Demonstrated experience initiating and communicating new processes based on evolving information and on‑the‑ground experience. Strong project management and problem‑solving skills. Proven ability to build credibility across diverse team members and around diverse technical topics, and to navigate technical and business trade‑offs effectively. Exceptional communication skills, with ability to distill complex ideas and problems into actionable decision trees and to clearly map out system dependencies. Positive, “yes if” mindset with a bias toward action; proactive and resourceful problem‑solver. Passion for the energy transition. Qualities
Proactive: you take ownership, offer hypotheses, and hold yourself accountable. Coachable: you welcome & react constructively to feedback and seek new skills with gusto. Excellent: you hold yourself, and your team members, to high standards of performance. Creative: you enjoy finding resourceful, unconventional, flexible solutions to problems. Integrity: you take pride in ethical, honest behavior, no matter who is around to see it. Compassionate: you remember empathy, respect, and care in your interactions with others. Inclusive: you actively look to surround yourself & collaborate inclusively with people who are different from you in experience, background, worldview, and resources. Bedrock Energy is building a strong culture based on our organizational values. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and are an equal‑opportunity employer.
