Position Summary:

Reporting to the Field Operations Foreman, with day-to-day direction from the Lead Operator, the Field Operator is responsible for the safe operation and condition of assigned wells, Compressor stations, Booster Compressor stations, and gathering systems within a field area. The Field Operator operates equipment within established operating envelopes, monitors production, and takes corrective action to maintain safe, reliable, on-specification production.

Working from a field station and across dispersed field sites, the Field Operator monitors operations via SCADA/HMI and physical rounds, performs operator preventive maintenance and minor maintenance, supports isolation and work control, executes corrosion-mitigation and chemical programs, and accurately records field data. The role is a key entry and development pathway toward the Lead Operator position.

This is a field-based role with frequent work in open environments with extremes of heat and cold, often in proximity to Highvoltage and/or chemicals which require safety precautions such as protective clothing and equipment, and with significant driving and periods of lone work across dispersed field sites. This day-based role is subject to callouts for work associated with abnormal field operations and/or emergency response activities. This includes weekends, evenings, and holidays. This is a safety-sensitive role that may be subject to testing to ensure fitness to work.

Key Responsibilities:

This role includes the following responsibilities along with other priorities that may be assigned periodically:

Field Operations & Production Integrity:

• Operates and monitors assigned wells, compressor stations and gathering systems within established operating envelopes, delivering safe, reliable, on-specification production.
• Monitors operations via SCADA/HMI and routine physical rounds; takes corrective action and escalates deviations to the Lead Operator.
• Performs routine adjustments (e.g., opening, closing, and adjusting valves and pressures) and switches and operates spared equipment as directed.
• Maintains awareness of facility objectives and production targets for the assigned area.

Routine Operations, Rounds & Preventive Maintenance:

• Completes scheduled operator rounds, checks, and operations PMs for the assigned area on time, recording results and exceptions.
• Performs operator-level minor maintenance and first-line troubleshooting; supports the Lead Operator and Maintenance with repairs as needed.
• Ensures housekeeping and the condition of assigned sites meet expectations.

Safety & Work Control:

• Is accountable for the execution of safe work practices and procedures for the assigned area.
• Writes and reviews Work Control Certificates and Permits to Work with the Field Leads, and is capable of creating permits for unplanned operating work.
• Supports equipment isolation, purging, cleaning, and de-pressuring; ensures blind sheets, car-seal logs, and safeguard overrides are complete and correct, and that isolation/LOTO is followed.
• Recognizes deviations from safe working procedures and takes immediate corrective action, marking up practices for revision.
• Participates actively in safety meetings, inspections, and high-potential pre-job safety meetings; completes safety-equipment checks; reports hazards and near-misses in Maximo.

Integrity, Corrosion & Chemical Programs:

• Executes field corrosion-mitigation activities, including required pigging and batch (inhibitor) schedules.
• Operates and monitors chemical injection programs and maintains chemical inventories and tracking sheets.
• Performs measurement and meter-related checks (e.g., meter calibration support, sampling, and tank gauging) and ensures samples and forms are accurate.
• Ensures waste is handled appropriately and that manifests and fluid-control forms are accurately completed.

Documentation & Reporting:

• Enters work notifications into Maximo for any corrective work required, with the information needed to plan the work.
• Updates the team through logbooks, team meetings, and SCADA notes, and maintains accurate tracking and log sheets.
• Submits month-end data (e.g., fuel-gas usage, venting/flaring, and chemical tracking) to the Lead Operator on time.
• Provides technical support and field information to the Field Planner, Engineering, and Maintenance as required.

Emergency Response:

• Maintains a working knowledge of the Emergency Response Plan and a clear understanding of assigned duties, and performs a role as determined by the Incident Commander.
• Reacts promptly to emergency situations, makes the appropriate decision on ESD/USD, and monitors fire, LEL, and H2S detection systems, taking appropriate corrective action.
• Assists in ERP situations to minimize negative impacts to the public, the environment, the field, and the plant.

Collaboration & Development:

• Works collaboratively with the Lead Operator, fellow operators, the plant team, and Maintenance.
• Maintains a good working relationship with the community and public, responding professionally to questions and concerns regarding operations.
• Pursues skill assessments and qualifications to build competency and progress toward the Lead Operator role.
• Works collaboratively with the Lead Operator to assist with third party companies to bring on production safely and trouble shoot as required.

Education and Work Experience:

• Progression in the Production Field Operations (PFO) / Oil & Gas Production Operator (OGPO) certificate program (entry through intermediate levels) or equivalent field-operations training; a 4th Class Power Engineering certificate is an asset and may be required where registered fired equipment is operated.
• Demonstrated competency on assigned wells, facilities, and equipment, with skill assessments completed for the assigned area(s).
• Field fundamental knowledge to assess and respond to alarms and operational changes, and the ability to react promptly, safely, and logically to emergencies.
• Familiarity with SCADA/HMI and Maximo (or comparable CMMS/EAM); knowledge of Permit to Work, isolation/LOTO, and safe-work practices.
• Awareness of corrosion-mitigation, chemical, and measurement programs.
• Valid Canadian Class 5 driver’s license; current H2S Alive, First Aid, WHMIS, and TDG.
• Good communication and teamwork skills; willingness to accept direction, support junior operators, and work safely in a dispersed field environment.
