About EiGroup

At eiGroup, we believe ideas can change industries - but only if they are nurtured with structure, science, and courage.

We’re an R&D and Innovation Venture Studio that transforms human ingenuity into technological value that scales.

Our ecosystem brings together researchers, engineers, and creators who turn complex challenges into scalable products - from subsurface imaging to AI-driven analytics, from remote sensing to digital transformation.

Our ventures are built in-house, born from research, and grown into independent companies.

Together, we’re shaping how innovation takes root in this region - and how it reaches the world.

What You’ll Do

Domain-Driven Technical Leadership

• Lead the petroleum engineering input into the development of digital tools focused on production optimization, deferral management, anomaly detection, and workflow automation.
• Periodically review well stock performance using in-house tools and generate validated opportunity lists and deferral cases.
  
  

Subsurface–Surface Integration

• Connect reservoir, well, and production system insights to reduce noise and ensure realistic, feasible recommendations.
• Provide holistic evaluations across subsurface, wellbore, and surface systems.
  
  

Well & System Modelling

• Oversee or implement building, calibration, and validation of well and system models (natural flow, gas lift, ESP, and other artificial lift systems) in common software (IPM Suite, etc.)
• Provide procedural assurance or contribute to the development of the process to ensure integrity of input data (well tests, PVT, constraints) and quality of model outputs.
• Use model-derived insights to identify optimization opportunities and support forecasting and prediction workflows.
  
  

Production Engineering Expertise

• Analyze performance of oil and gas producer wells, especially natural and gas-lifted wells.
• Diagnose flow assurance challenges (wax, asphaltenes, slugging, hydrates, sand) and recommend short- and long-term mitigation strategies.
• Guide the team on well performance indicators and opportunity identification frameworks.
  
  

Digital Product Co-Creation

• Translate business pain points into clear technical requirements and actionable tasks for data science and development teams.
• Scope solutions with clients, define acceptance criteria, and oversee domain implementation during development.
• Ensure technical quality of delivered digital features and workflows.
  
  

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Work closely with client production teams to validate opportunities, refine requirements, and ensure alignment.
• Prepare clear technical reports, quick analyses, and presentations for both technical and managerial audiences.
  
  

Future Product Vision & Scaling

• Contribute to the long-term roadmap for digital production engineering products and scalable platforms.
• Identify new business opportunities and support management in expanding service lines and client relationships.
  
  

Team Contribution & Mentorship

• Provide technical mentoring to junior petroleum/domain engineers within the team.
• Support creation of best practices, guidelines, and domain standards for internal use.
  
  

Agile & Collaborative Delivery

• Work within an agile environment—participating in sprint planning, backlog refinement, and iterative delivery.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams (data science, development, QA) in fast-moving project cycles.
  
  

Technical Tools & Digital Fluency

• Prepare rapid technical reports, PowerPoints, and decision-support materials.
• Ideally have exposure to databases, basic programming (Python, SQL), or digital engineering tools.
• Maintain strong English communication and presentation capabilities.
  
  

What You Bring

Technical & Domain Expertise

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering, Reservoir Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in production/reservoir engineering roles within oil & gas operating companies or service/digital solution providers.
• Strong experience with oil and gas producer wells, including natural flow, gas lift, and basic familiarity with ESP and other artificial lift systems.
• Hands-on experience with well and system modelling (e.g., Prosper, GAP, MBAL or equivalent tools), including model building, calibration, and validation.
• Solid understanding of reservoir–well–surface system interactions and ability to integrate subsurface and surface data into optimization work.
• Proven proficiency in diagnosing flow assurance issues (wax, asphaltenes, slugging, hydrates, etc.) and recommending mitigation strategies.
• Strong command of well performance indicators, opportunity identification techniques, and production optimization workflows.
  
  

Digital & Analytical Skills

• Experience collaborating in digital development projects, particularly using domain knowledge to shape requirements and validate outputs.
• Ability to break down complex engineering challenges into structured, actionable components for data science and software development teams.
• Prior exposure to databases, dataflows, or basic programming/scripting (Python, SQL, MATLAB, or similar) is a strong advantage.
• Experience working with data-driven tools, dashboards, or digital workflows is a plus.
  
  

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Strong skills in capturing business pain points, defining technical scopes, and aligning requirements with client stakeholders.
• Fluent English (written and spoken) with strong professional communication skills.
• Confident presenter able to prepare and deliver clear reports, slides, client materials, and technical justifications.
  
  

Leadership, Collaboration & Agility

• Experience working in high-paced, agile development or multidisciplinary environments (sprints, iterative delivery, backlog grooming).
• Ability to plan and manage short-, mid-, and long-term objectives in parallel.
• Demonstrated capability to mentor junior engineers and contribute to team growth.
• Proactive, dynamic mindset with a drive to push projects, ideas, and teams forward.
  
  

Nice-to-Have

• Previous experience in consultancy, digital product development, or technical project leadership within the petroleum engineering domain.
• Familiarity with cloud-based platforms, production data systems, and integrated digital environments.
• Experience supporting business development, proposal preparation, or identifying new value-creation opportunities.
