Civil & Structural Construction Supervisor III at Scruples Resources

MAIN FUNCTIONS

• Provide field-based technical support and supervision for wellbore construction activities from well planning through drilling, casing, cementing, completion, and well handover.
• Monitor well construction operations to ensure activities are executed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with approved programs, procedures, and industry standards.
• Review drilling programs, well schematics, casing designs, cementing programs, drilling parameters, and other well construction documentation.
• Coordinate with drilling, completions, subsurface, production, well services, and rig teams to ensure effective execution of well construction activities.
• Monitor drilling operations, including hole section preparation, drilling parameters, directional drilling, wellbore stability, hole cleaning, and formation evaluation.
• Provide technical input on casing and liner running, cementing, pressure testing, wellhead installation, and related well integrity activities.
• Monitor wellbore conditions and identify potential risks such as lost circulation, kicks, wellbore instability, differential sticking, pack-off, tight hole, and other drilling challenges.
• Review real-time drilling and well data to identify trends, operational issues, and opportunities for improved well performance.
• Verify that drilling and well construction activities remain within approved operational limits and engineering requirements.
• Coordinate with directional drilling, mud logging, MWD/LWD, cementing, logging, and other specialist service companies.
• Support troubleshooting of well construction problems and recommend appropriate corrective actions.
• Ensure proper implementation of well control procedures and participate in well control and emergency response activities as required.
• Monitor compliance with well control barriers, pressure control requirements, and well integrity standards.
• Review daily drilling reports, morning reports, end-of-well reports, service reports, and other operational documentation for accuracy and completeness.
• Maintain accurate records of well construction activities, operational parameters, lessons learned, non-conformances, and technical issues.
• Participate in pre-spud meetings, operational readiness reviews, risk assessments, toolbox talks, and well construction planning sessions.
• Ensure field activities comply with company HSE requirements, permit-to-work procedures, environmental standards, and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Monitor contractor and service company performance and ensure work is carried out in accordance with approved procedures and contractual requirements.
• Identify opportunities to optimize drilling performance, reduce non-productive time, improve wellbore quality, and minimize operational risks.
• Provide technical support during well suspension, temporary abandonment, completion, and final well handover activities.
• Participate in post-well reviews and provide recommendations for improving future well construction programs.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Well Construction Manager or Drilling Superintendent.
