The Opportunity
LearnCorp International (LCI) is seeking expressions of interest from experienced oil and gas professionals to support the delivery of specialized technical training programs within the United States.
We are looking for seasoned industry professionals with extensive operational experience in conventional and unconventional oil and gas production, particularly lease operations, gas compression, gas lift, and associated production systems.
This opportunity is well suited to experienced field operators, production supervisors, technical specialists, and retired or semi-retired industry professionals interested in transitioning into technical training and sharing their knowledge with others.
Selected candidates will deliver structured instructor-led training to both early career and experienced industry personnel, reinforcing foundational operating principles, equipment knowledge, safe work practices, troubleshooting capabilities, and practical operational competencies.
Technical Knowledge and Experience
Ideal candidates will possess substantial hands-on operational experience and demonstrate strong technical knowledge in several of the following areas:
Production & Lease Operations: Conventional and unconventional oil and gas production, wellhead operations, production facilities, separation systems, gas handling, liquid storage, fluid transfer, measurement, and produced-water management.
Gas Compression & Processing: Natural gas compression systems, reciprocating compressors, gas dehydration, associated utilities, equipment operation, monitoring, maintenance fundamentals, and troubleshooting.
Gas Lift & Artificial Lift: Gas lift and gas injection systems, artificial lift technologies, operating principles, production optimization, and associated equipment.
Mechanical Equipment & Systems: Centrifugal and positive displacement pumps, manual and actuated valves, lubrication systems, bearings, mechanical equipment operation, inspection, and troubleshooting.
Process Controls & Operational Safety: Industrial instrumentation, process monitoring, control systems, equipment isolation, pressure management, operating procedures, and safe work practices.
Candidates should be comfortable explaining technical principles, relating them to real-world operating scenarios, and sharing practical insights developed through years of field experience.
Preferred Qualifications
We are particularly interested in individuals with extensive experience in upstream oil and gas operations, preferably in operational, supervisory, technical specialist, or workforce development roles.
Successful candidates will demonstrate strong technical competency, practical problem-solving skills, and an ability to communicate complex operating principles clearly and effectively.
Previous experience in technical instruction, employee training, mentoring, coaching, or competency assessment is considered an asset but is not mandatory.
Formal instructional experience is not a prerequisite. We welcome experienced industry professionals who have a genuine interest in sharing their knowledge and developing the capabilities of others.
Key Responsibilities
Selected trainers will deliver established technical training curricula through classroom instruction, facilitated discussions, equipment demonstrations, and practical learning activities.
They will be responsible for preparing instructional materials, supporting participant engagement, explaining equipment and process fundamentals, and applying relevant field experience to enhance the learning environment.
Trainers will work collaboratively with LCI's technical and program management teams to ensure consistent, high-quality training delivery.
Assignment Requirements
These opportunities involve project-based technical training assignments, with scheduling and assignment durations determined by operational requirements.
Candidates must have the ability to travel to, from, and within the United States of America as required for training delivery, including possessing or obtaining the appropriate travel documentation and authorization to perform the proposed work. LCI will facilitate and manage all travel and work visa processes.
Competitive compensation will be offered based on experience, qualifications, and assignment requirements.
