Overview
We are seeking an experienced Reservoir Engineer to support the effective management and optimisation of producing reservoirs within an onshore operating environment. This role focuses on maximising production performance through robust reservoir management practices, surveillance planning, opportunity identification, and close collaboration with subsurface and operational teams.

The position is well suited to an engineer who enjoys working across disciplines, applying analytical thinking to complex reservoir challenges, and driving value through data-driven decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, implement, and closely monitor reservoir surveillance programmes

• Identify and execute reservoir management initiatives to maximise production and improve voidage replacement

• Perform simulation and special studies to support well and field performance improvements

• Develop and optimise well designs using advanced reservoir and well modelling techniques

• Identify, rank, and mature production and injection improvement opportunities through to final approval

• Generate short-term production forecasts and rolling profiles on a regular basis

• Conduct post-activity evaluations for new wells and workovers

• Review well performance and well patterns, recommending remedial actions where required

• Support optimisation and monitoring of injection and enhanced recovery cycles

• Contribute data and analysis to integrated asset and reserves workflows

• Work closely with operations, drilling, engineering, and subsurface teams to ensure alignment

• Provide technical support and guidance to peers within the team

Key Activities

• Perform detailed well performance analysis and decline assessments

• Carry out subsurface studies to improve production and injection efficiency

• Execute reservoir simulation studies to optimise injection strategies and forecasting

• Use dynamic modelling and seismic interpretation to improve sweep efficiency and zonal allocation

• Maintain and manage a portfolio of reservoir opportunities through defined governance stages

• Support planning and execution of workovers and well interventions

• Contribute to annual reservoir management planning and performance reviews

• Prepare and present technical reviews to internal stakeholders

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Reservoir Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, or a related discipline

• Master’s degree is preferred

• Minimum of 6 years’ experience in a subsurface or reservoir engineering role

• Experience working on operated assets within a multidisciplinary environment

Required Competencies

• Strong understanding of reservoir management and surveillance practices

• Proven experience in reservoir dynamic modelling and history matching

• Analytical mindset with strong attention to detail

• Effective communication and stakeholder engagement skills

• Ability to collaborate and influence across technical and operational teams

• Proactive, structured, and results-driven approach
