  • Coordinate drilling and field-service contractors by tracking daily progress, validating drilling reports, monitoring consumables and meters drilled for invoice verification, and overseeing access-road maintenance, drill-pad preparation, and rig relocations.
  • Lead on-site health and safety by conducting workplace and equipment inspections, maintaining first-aid supplies and emergency communication protocols, and investigating incidents, near misses, and accidents to implement corrective measures.
  • Ensure contractors comply with applicable environmental regulations (RADF, REAFIE, and LQE) and remain within the scope of issued permits (PAF, REAFIE, ATI, etc.).
  • Identify and recommend opportunities to improve and optimize field practices.
  • Engage respectfully with local communities, rights holders, and land users.

Qualifications
