This role requires someone who not only understands the technical side of Totalflow automation inside and out—but also has the leadership mindset to assess a job’s full scope and help guide it to completion on time and on budget. You’ll be hands-on in the field and instrumental in designing, troubleshooting, and optimizing remote measurement and automation systems for oil and gas operations throughout Western Oklahoma.

• Interpret job scopes and assist in managing project timelines, materials, and manpower needs.
• Work closely with engineers, electricians, and field supervisors to execute automation scopes effectively.
• Assist with documentation, reporting, and ensuring compliance with customer and regulatory standards.
• Provide technical mentoring to junior technicians as needed.

  • 3+ years’ hands-on experience in oilfield automation, with a deep focus on ABB Totalflow systems.
  • Strong understanding of Totalflow protocols, applications, and programming workflows (PCCU proficiency a must).
  • Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, loop drawings, and control diagrams.
  • Confidence in managing job flow: from evaluating site readiness to ensuring field-level execution matches project specs.
  • Strong communication skills and a proactive attitude—you see what needs done and make it happen.
  • Valid driver’s license with a good driving record; willing to travel locally to job sites.
  • Experience integrating with other platforms (e.g., ROC107, Bristol, Ignition, or VTScada).
  • Electrical license or knowledge of motor control, VFDs, and power systems.
  • Familiarity with EFM reporting, gas measurement audits, or measurement verification.
