About the role

  • Accountable for defining, tracking, and driving improvements to availability, mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair (MTTR), and non-productive time (NPT) related to coiled tubing equipment spreads, then partnering with Engineering and Field Operations on execution.
  • Identify single-point failures and reliability bottlenecks across Bedrock’s equipment spread (e.g., coiled tubing unit, pumping systems, solids control equipment).
  • Prioritize reliability improvements based on operational risk, safety exposure, and cost of downtime.
  • Build simple, scalable reporting tools suitable for a startup environment and provide regular reliability updates to leadership.
  • Lead root cause analyses (RCA) for equipment failures, repetitive downtime events, and safety-critical incidents.
  • Own and maintain the failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system (FRACAS) process, including solution verification.
  • Translate field failures into design changes, operating envelope adjustments, and maintenance improvements.
  • Develop and continuously improve preventive and conditions-based maintenance programs, including inventory strategy.
  • Partner with Field Operations to ensure execution & compliance.
  • Define maintenance intervals based on Bedrock’s real field data, beyond standard vendor guidance.
  • Support planning of rig-down / rig-up inspections, red-tagging, and pre-deployment readiness checks.
  • Provide on-site support during: 1) First-of-kind operations, and 2) New equipment introductions.
  • Participate in pre-job risk assessments, readiness reviews, and post-job performance reviews.
  • Support Operations Engineering team with failure troubleshooting, escalation decision-making, and go/no-go calls.
  • Act as the voice of reliability to design and technology teams to ensure reliability lessons are incorporated into future spread designs and upgrades.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems, or Reliability Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • 5–10+ years of experience in: coiled tubing operations, drilling services, or high-pressure rotating equipment in oil & gas, geothermal, mining, or similar industrial environments
  • Strong understanding of: hydraulic and mechanical systems, high-pressure pumps, solids control and drilling fluid systems, field instrumentation and controls
  • Demonstrated experience with: RCA methodologies (5-Why, Fishbone, Fault Tree, etc.), FRACAS systems, and maintenance optimization
  • Ability to work with incomplete data and evolving systems, thriving in uncertainty and dynamic environments.
  • Demonstrated experience initiating and communicating new processes based on evolving information and on-the-ground experience
  • Strong project management and problem-solving skills, especially in environments with growth-driven changes, contending priorities, and complex stakeholders
  • Passion for the energy transition
