About the role
Job Purpose:
Lead the definition, development, and execution of the Well Construction
Platform digital vision, establishing a unified digital ecosystem that connects
engineering, planning, operational execution, and performance insights across
the well construction lifecycle. This role is responsible for driving a
platform-led transformation that improves Service Efficiency, reduces
Non-Productive Time (NPT), lowers operational risk, and enables repeatable
performance across global drilling campaigns. Transform the organization from
product-line-centric software development to a platform-led operating model by
creating a shared digital foundation that serves Drilling Services (DS), Managed
Pressure Drilling (MPD), Wireline (WL), TRS, Drilling Fluids (DF), and future
well construction technologies.
The platform will create a continuous digital thread linking planning,
engineering, execution, analytics, and optimization while establishing the
foundational capabilities required for remote operations and future autonomous
well construction.
