They’re expanding their team to meet growing needs, making this a unique opportunity to work with an industry leader. Overview Our client is seeking an experienced Petroleum Engineer to support the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. This role will play a critical part in evaluating the viability of CO₂ storage sites by building and running simulation models to test injection and long-term storage hypotheses. The ideal candidate will bring strong reservoir simulation expertise, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to translate technical simulation results into actionable recommendations. This individual will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of Reservoir Engineers, Simulation Specialists, and Geologists to support strategic decision‑making for carbon storage programs. Responsibilities Ensuring proper implementation of established reservoir management strategies and surveillance plans including short‑term adjustments to cater for operational constraints without compromising longer‑term reservoir recovery. Ensuring that wellbore hydraulic models are accurate, up to date and accessible to Asset Level Team (ALT) technical staff via defined repositories/locations. Collaborating with multi‑functional teams to identify, execute opportunities and optimize well performance. Identifying, validating, analyzing and uploading pressure data including clarification/validation of Pressure‑Volume‑Temperature (PVT) assumptions for fluid density, downhole parameters and determination of missing parameters when required. Competently perform on routine applications of skills. Anticipates & solves problems by integrating knowledge from several areas. Less reliant on supervisor. Responsible for own projects.
