Wellsite Supervisor (Integrated Solutions)
About the Role
We are looking for a Wellsite Supervisor to take the lead on our field operations. In this role, you are the face of the company on-site and the main point of contact for the customer. You’ll be responsible for coordinating everything, from drilling and completions to workover operations, ensuring the well program is followed to the letter while keeping safety, budget, and timing front and center.
You’ll report directly to the Field Superintendent, but on the rig, you are the decision-maker. It’s a position that requires a balance of technical expertise, logistical planning, and strong people management.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Safety & Leadership
-
Serve as the primary HSE authority on-site. You aren't just checking boxes; you’re building a culture where everyone stays safe and knows the emergency protocols inside and out.
-
Lead morning meetings and operational reviews to keep the whole crew aligned.
Operational Coordination
-
Manage the relationship between the customer, the rig contractor, and our various product lines.
-
Supervise the daily well program activities to ensure we’re hitting our targets without compromising quality.
-
Handle rig moves and site prep, making sure the next location is ready for us before the move even starts.
Logistics & Reporting
-
Keep the paperwork moving. This includes Daily Drilling Reports (DDRs), KPI tracking, and making sure all site documentation (MOCs, certifications, etc.) is current and available.
-
Oversee the "ins and outs" of the site. You’ll be responsible for mobilizing gear and personnel, making sure tools are in good working order, and ensuring rental equipment is sent back the moment it’s no longer needed to keep costs down.
Support & Continuous Improvement
-
Act as the first line of technical support for the field crew.
-
If equipment fails, you’ll lead the investigation to figure out why and how to prevent it from happening again.
-
Capture "lessons learned" and share them with the engineering teams to help us improve on the next well.
-
Provide a thorough, written handover to your relief so they can hit the ground running when you head home.
Who We’re Looking For
We need someone who knows their way around a rig and isn’t afraid to take charge. The ideal candidate has:
-
Solid Field Experience: You have a deep understanding of drilling and completion operations and can spot a potential issue before it becomes a problem.
-
Leadership Grit: You know how to manage a diverse group of contractors and personnel, keeping everyone focused on the goal.
-
Strong Communication: You can explain technical issues clearly to a customer and give concise, actionable instructions to a crew.
-
Operational Discipline: You take pride in running a tight ship, keeping your site organized, and ensuring every report is accurate and on time.
If you’re a professional who thrives in the field and takes ownership of the results, we want to talk to you about joining the team.

EMPLOY AFRICA’S TOP 5 CV TIPS
There are some key elements that you need to be aware of when putting together your CV.
Its not as simple as it looks , and small things that you may not even notice, or you think are harmless, could well be jeopardising your chances of finding your ultimate job.
1. How professional is your email address ?
So just how professional is your email address. Remember to leave your private life at the door when applying for a job. Email addresses like partyrocker@gmail.com or honeybooboo@hotmail.com are not going to put you in a good light when your CV lands on the desk of the Hiring manager.
Stick to yourname.surname89@gmail.com to ensure that you are not jeapordising your chances of success.
2. Stolen Identity?
Putting your ID number on your CV can result in identity theft. If you think about it, your entire life is on your CV, how easy would it be to steal your identity and use it inappropriately.
This is why we highly recommended that you don’t put your ID number on your CV. This is information that can be made available to the hiring manager on request later down the recruitment process.
3. Spell Check Spell Check Spell Check?
What is a little Typo here and there? Who will notice right? WRONG!!
Don’t ever assume that grammar and spelling don’t matter on your CV. Make sure you go through your CV with a fine-tooth comb. Not bothering to check these types of mistakes may look like you don’t pay attention to detail. Someone who is sloppy with their CV may just as well be sloppy in the work environment, and no one likes a slack employee!
4. Start Back to Front?
Hiring managers often have many CVs that they have to get through. Make sure that you put your most recent work experience first and work backwards from there. Don’t leave any gaps. Even if you were unemployed for a few months, add in that you were looking for work during that stage of your life.
5. Contact details on every page of your CV?
Ensure that your contact details are on every page of your CV. The best way to ensure this is to put your name, telephone number and email address in the footer of your CV. This way, the front page of your CV ever get separated from the rest or goes missing, a hiring manager will still be able to get in touch with you.
