Job Duties

Under general supervision, demonstrates creativity and judgment in solving problems during the development and application of new and improved chemical products and engineering processes. Performs research and experimentation at the general direct of technical leaders and advisors. Develops basic chemical products and processes by providing chemical and/or engineering analysis applicable to need. Performs specialized tests and simulations including design and construction of modeling apparatus and data acquisition systems. Demonstrates thorough knowledge of the products, processes, and their application. Provides technical guidance to technicians and may be consulted in area of expertise by associates. Utilizes project management skills in the planning and execution of project activities as directed by project leaders and management. Resolves technical/operational questions with internal customers. Assists with the development and preparation of technical training/presentations as called upon to provide technology transfer. May apply fluid mechanics theory and design to the rheological characterization of fluids, flow modeling, solids transport, viscoelasticity, and friction. May utilize existing software products to provide engineering solutions and may provide field support for existing software products. May apply geomechanics technologies in the areas of mini-frac analysis, formation sanding potential, wellbore stability assessment, pore pressure prediction, stress analysis and mechanical property determination. Demonstrates innovation by contributing inventions, patents, or new designs/techniques which accomplish project goals. Incorporates HES awareness, regulations, best practices, product/process reliability and quality into the development of products and processes. May participate in professional societies. Job tasks, correctly performed, impact indirectly on cost containment, efficiency, profitability or operations. Consequences of error are easily measured and can be confined.
