About the Role

As the Completions Manager for our Haynesville Business Unit, you will lead one of the most critical elements of our development program-driving the safe, efficient, and high‑performance execution of all basin completion activities. You'll manage the full lifecycle of the completion program, from design and planning through field execution and handover to production.

The ideal candidate brings proven leadership, deep completion engineering expertise, and a strong record of operational excellence in unconventional resource plays. Success in this role depends on close collaboration with drilling, subsurface, production, and supply chain teams to deliver the Haynesville development program effectively.

This position is suited for a strategic, decisive leader who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and applies both technical depth and operational discipline to every stage of the completion lifecycle.

Cross‑Functional Impact

• Work seamlessly with drilling, subsurface, production, facilities, HSE, and supply chain to ensure cohesive well delivery.
• Clearly communicate performance, risks, and opportunities to leadership and key stakeholders.

Essential Education and Experience:

You thrive at the intersection of technical mastery, operational leadership, and people development. You build trust, elevate standards, and deliver results.

• 9+ years in completions engineering/operations, including leadership experience.
• Proven success delivering completion programs in unconventional resource plays.
• Expert knowledge of hydraulic fracturing, stimulation design, and completion field execution.
• Strong vendor management and contract oversight skills.
• Exceptional analytical, problem‑solving, and decision‑making abilities.
