The opportunity

We are seeking a senior manager with deep experience in onshore upstream production operations to shape the future of well performance management. You’ll join EY’s team of market-facing leaders responsible for identifying, shaping, and co-creating end-to-end solutions that transform how operators manage and optimize well operations.

• Serve as a trusted advisor to client stakeholders across field operations, production engineering, digital enablement, and enterprise leadership
• Shape and execute go-to-market strategies for EY’s production operations portfolio, with a focus on onshore unconventional assets
• Build and activate partnerships with technology providers, OEMs, and service firms to develop integrated offerings around surveillance, field automation, production optimization, and remote operations
• Represent EY in external forums, industry associations, and strategic engagements to build thought leadership and brand equity
• Partner with delivery teams to refine solution playbooks, deployment models, and domain accelerators for field implementation
• Support pursuits, develop technical and commercial content for proposals, and lead early-stage client engagements
• Drive continuous refinement of EY’s production transformation architecture by learning from engagements and market signals

 

Skills and attributes for success

• Deep domain expertise in onshore production operations, with hands-on understanding of well performance, artificial lift systems, surveillance workflows, and field asset management
• Proven experience with operational excellence, digital enablement, and integrated production systems (e.g., SCADA, DCS, PI, digital twins)
• Strong grasp of industry dynamics, including LOE cost structures, field logistics, emissions mandates, and uptime optimization
• Commercial acumen and comfort driving client discussions on strategy, performance, and ROI of digital investments
• Ability to work across functional teams such as engineering, IT, digital, supply chain, and finance to shape truly integrated solutions
• Strategic mindset with a bias for action and continuous improvement
• Strong communication skills with an ability to translate operational complexity into client-relevant narratives and transformation roadmaps

 

To qualify for the role, you must have

• A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, operations, or related technical discipline
• 10+ years of experience in upstream oil and gas with direct exposure to production operations and optimization, either with an operator, OFS company, or through consulting/advisory roles
• Track record of working in or alongside production operations teams in unconventional plays (e.g., Permian, Eagle Ford etc.)
• Experience shaping digital or operational transformation initiatives in well operations, artificial lift optimization, or remote operations
• Exposure to enabling technologies and platforms such as production surveillance dashboards, edge analytics, AI/ML models for production forecasting, or cloud-native data platforms.
