Field Operations Lead / Senior Field Operations Engineer

About Us Eden is pioneering sustainable natural resource recovery by using electricity to enhance subsurface permeability. Our Electrical Reservoir Stimulation technology offers a precise, water-efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic fracturing, reducing environmental risks while maximizing resource extraction. Backed by leading public and private institutions, we have raised ~$24M, including $14M in dilutive capital from industry leaders such as Anglo American and Helmerich & Payne, along with climate-focused investors like the Grantham Foundation. Additionally, we have secured $10M in non-dilutive funding, primarily through four DOE ARPA-E grants that support our R&D in frontier industries. Headquartered in Somerville, MA, and with an office in Houston, TX, Eden's team of 16 experts specialize in geology, high-voltage engineering, and subsurface tool design. This role is expected to be based in the Somerville HQ. We are actively demonstrating our next-generation permeability enhancement technology across diverse geologies worldwide, collaborating with industry leaders in geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, carbon storage, and mining to redefine resource recovery for a carbon-neutral future. We are actively running a field pilot and preparing for upcoming future field pilots across the country, in cooperation with our supportive technical partners. Roles & Responsibilities Field Readiness and Preparation Support the execution of detailed field plans for Electric Reservoir Stimulation (ERS) pilots, including mobilization, pre-ERS operations, equipment staging, field operations, and demobilization. Work with both the R&D team and the engineering team to translate pilot objectives and tests into practical field work plans. Coordinate field readiness across site hosts/clients, internal engineering, vendors, and subcontractors. Help identify field constraints early, including: access, power, water, pressure-control needs, lifting/handling requirements, and permitting/regulations. Assist with preparing the proper permits. Responsible for ensuring that required equipment, tools, spares, instrumentation, consumables, PPE, vehicles, rentals, and support services are available Build and maintain equipment lists and packing lists for mobilization Support building timelines and Gantt charts. Track performance vs planned timelines. Logistics and Mobilization/Demobilization Own pilot logistics from pre-mobilization through demobilization, including equipment preparation, shipping, site delivery, travel scheduling, lodging, rental vehicles, and field crew coordination. Coordinate with vendors and subcontractors for equipment rentals, equipment deliveries, testing services, and other field support. Coordinate real-time changes to the field plan with engineering, operations leadership, site representatives, and contractors. Day to Day Field Leadership Serve as the primary day-to-day field lead during ERS pilot execution. Run daily field activities, including morning planning, task assignments, schedule reviews, contractor coordination, daily reports, and end-of-day progress updates. Proactively identify delays and required decisions. Manage a small field team of approximately 1‑4 people, including Eden personnel/technicians and contractors. Act as the on-site point of contact for Eden during field execution, escalating technical, safety, schedule, or commercial issues as needed. Own the field-level schedule during pilot execution and maintain a clear view of critical path activities. Responsible for knowing how to troubleshoot electrical issues by having basic knowledge of electrical principles including currents, volts, circuits, and power. Will oversee, and when necessary, perform routine maintenance services, and routine electrical services on various equipment Support cost tracking for field-related expenses, including equipment, rentals, contractors, and travel. Participate in/lead daily safety meetings, hazard analyses, and stop-work discussions. Confirm that field personnel have the required safety training and understand site rules, PPE requirements, emergency procedures, exclusion zones, and equipment-specific hazards. Maintain organized field records, including daily activity reports, equipment status, contractor reports, and test data. Required Qualifications and Abilities 4+ years of experience in field operations, preferably in oil and gas Bachelor’s degree in engineering (petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical engineering) or a related technical field preferred. Equivalent hands‑on field operations experience in oil and gas or industrial project execution will be considered. Up 75% of time in the field during active operations Experience coordinating field logistics, equipment mobilization, vendors, contractors, and small crews. Interface with wellsite operations - knowledge of pressure/flow testing, pumps, tanks, downhole tools, well control, wireline, and related field deployment equipment Strong safety mindset and willingness to stop work when conditions are unsafe. Trained in oil field safety requirements. Ability to read and execute against work plans, test plans, equipment lists, schedules, and field procedures. Comfortable with travel and extended time in the field during active pilot campaigns, potentially at remote field locations. Nice to have’s Oil and gas experience explicitly in completions, hydraulic fracturing, stimulation, wireline, and/or well testing Experience with pilot-scale technology deployments or first‑of‑a‑kind field trials. Experience in other fields relevant to Eden’s value proposition including geothermal or mining Demonstrated ability to lead daily field activities and communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders. Experience working with pressure systems, electrical systems, fluid handling, downhole tools, or geophysical/wellbore data collection. Experience coordinating subcontractors under tight field schedules. Operate and oversee heavy machinery including a forklift or telehandler.
