Job Description

Wellsite Supervisor (Integrated Solutions)

The Role

As a Wellsite Supervisor, you are the person in charge on location. You serve as the primary point of contact for the customer and the lead for all our operations on the rig, whether that’s drilling, completions, or workovers.

This isn't a desk job; you’re the one making sure the well program is executed safely, on time, and within budget. You’ll be the bridge between the customer, the rig contractors, and our internal teams, ensuring everyone is on the same page and the job is done right.

What the work looks like

Leading Safety on Site

You are the final authority on HSE at the wellsite. It’s your job to make sure safety isn't just a policy on paper, but a real practice on the ground. You’ll lead morning safety meetings, manage emergency response systems, and foster a culture where the crew looks out for one another.

Managing the Day-to-Day

You’ll oversee the technical and operational side of the project. This means:

  • Supervising operations according to the well program and making sure we stay on track.

  • Planning rig moves and checking that the next location is ready to go so we don’t lose time.

  • Coordinating with different contractors and product lines to keep the operation moving smoothly.

Logistics and Reporting

A big part of this role is staying organized. You’ll be responsible for:

  • Getting equipment and people to the site when they’re needed and sending them back as soon as they aren't (to keep costs down).

  • Keeping accurate Daily Drilling Reports (DDRs) and tracking KPIs.

  • Ensuring all gear on site is in good condition and that everyone has the right certifications to be there.

Technical Support and Coaching

You are the first line of support for our field personnel. When equipment fails or things get complicated, you’ll lead the investigation, find a solution, and make sure we capture those "lessons learned" for the next well.

Who you are

We need someone who can lead a team under pressure and communicate clearly with both the customer and the crew. Specifically, we’re looking for:

  • A Natural Leader: Someone who can run a meeting, coach junior staff, and hold everyone on site to a high standard.

  • Operationally Sharp: You understand the technical side of drilling and workovers and know how to manage resources like time and equipment efficiently.

  • Detail-Oriented: You take pride in accurate reporting and thorough handovers so that the supervisor coming in behind you knows exactly what’s happening.

  • A Problem Solver: When things go sideways, you stay calm and focused on getting the project back on track safely.

The Setup

  • Reporting: You’ll report to the Integrated Solutions Field Superintendent.

  • Responsibility: You’ll have the support of a Remote Operations Center and our technical engineering teams, but the day-to-day execution on the rig is your call.

If you’re ready to take ownership of a site and drive high-level performance without compromising on safety, we’d like to hear from you.

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.
