About the role

About the Role: Our client is actively seeking a skilled Remote Reservoir Engineer to join their globally distributed team. This position is ideal for an expert in petroleum engineering who excels in analyzing reservoir performance and developing strategies for optimal hydrocarbon recovery. Working remotely, you will play a crucial role in evaluating exploration opportunities, managing existing fields, and contributing to long-term resource planning. The successful candidate will operate with a high degree of autonomy, collaborating virtually with geoscientists, production engineers, and management to achieve strategic business objectives, all while maintaining a strong connection to the company's overarching goals from their home office, regardless of location.

Key Responsibilities: Conduct detailed reservoir characterization and performance analysis using advanced simulation software. Develop and implement strategies for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and optimize production from existing reservoirs. Evaluate potential new exploration and development opportunities, providing technical recommendations. Prepare comprehensive reservoir management plans and production forecasts. Collaborate effectively with geologists, geophysicists, and drilling engineers through virtual communication channels. Monitor reservoir data, track key performance indicators, and report on reservoir health and potential.

Requirements: Master's or Ph. D. in Petroleum Engineering or a related geoscience discipline. Over 8 years of progressive experience in reservoir engineering, with a strong focus on reservoir simulation and modeling. Proficiency with industry-standard reservoir modeling software (e.g., ECLIPSE, Petrel RE). Demonstrated experience in hydrocarbon reserves estimation and economic evaluation. Exceptional analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex geological and engineering data. Must be able to work independently and manage time effectively in a fully remote setting.

Benefits: Highly competitive salary with performance incentives. Flexible remote work schedule allowing for work-life balance. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans. Opportunities for international collaboration and professional growth. Access to cutting-edge technology and professional development resources.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
