Senior Well Intervention Engineer

Would you like to drive well intervention solutions that restore production, improve well integrity, and maximize asset value?

Are you passionate about developing technically sound and commercially impactful intervention strategies across the well lifecycle?

Join our Oilfield Services Team

At Baker Hughes, we are transforming the future of energy through innovative technologies and services. Our Oilfield Services business delivers integrated solutions that improve production performance, enhance well integrity, and optimize asset value throughout the lifecycle of a field. We partner with customers to address complex operational challenges through innovative well intervention, remediation, and abandonment solutions.

Fuel your passion

As a Senior Well Intervention Engineer, you will develop and evaluate well intervention opportunities from concept development through execution and performance evaluation. You will apply your experience across intervention design, operational execution, and production or integrity monitoring to identify fit-for-purpose solutions that deliver measurable field value. Working closely with reservoir, production, completions, and integrity specialists, you will help customers maximize recovery, improve well performance, and support long-term asset management objectives.

As a Senior Well Intervention Engineer, you will be:

  • Defining intervention strategies for mature wells, including rigless interventions, workovers, recompletions, stimulation, cleanout, water shutoff, integrity remediation, and abandonment preparation activities.

  • Selecting and evaluating downhole tools, technologies, deployment methods, and operational approaches to address production, injectivity, access, and integrity challenges.

  • Integrating reservoir, production, well integrity, completion, facilities, logistics, HSE, and commercial requirements into practical intervention solutions.

  • Applying field execution experience to intervention planning, operational readiness, post-job evaluation, and production or integrity performance assessment.

  • Defining intervention sequences, resource requirements, pressure control philosophies, rig or rigless assumptions, logistics plans, cost drivers, and schedule considerations.

  • Quantifying production restoration opportunities, injectivity improvements, integrity risk reduction, and abandonment readiness to support investment and proposal decisions.

  • Reviewing intervention scopes to ensure technical assumptions are realistic, executable, and aligned with field development objectives.

  • Providing technical guidance and mentoring to intervention engineering teams while supporting customer discussions and proposal development.

Essential Skills

  • Strong expertise in well intervention, workover, and well integrity operations.

  • Deep understanding of downhole tools, intervention technologies, and deployment methods.

  • Knowledge of pressure control systems, well access constraints, and abandonment practices.

  • Ability to evaluate technical, operational, and commercial drivers to develop value-based solutions.

  • Strong communication, stakeholder management, and customer engagement skills.

To be successful in this role you will:

  • Have a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum, Mechanical, Wells Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

  • Have 15+ years of experience in well interventions, completions, workovers, well integrity, and mature field production restoration activities ( Rigless and rig-based ).

  • Have extensive knowledge of downhole tools, intervention methodologies, pressure control systems, well access techniques, and abandonment-related practices.

  • Have experience supporting projects from opportunity identification and design through execution, post-job evaluation, and performance monitoring.

  • Have the ability to develop and defend intervention-led value propositions and execution strategies with customers and senior stakeholders.

  • Have strong understanding of operational risk management, HSE requirements, logistics planning, and intervention economics.

  • Have experience working within multidisciplinary teams across reservoir, production, wells, integrity, and operations functions.
