Product Manager (Technical) – Energy Solutions Products

Nabors is seeking an experienced Product Manager (Technical) – Energy Solutions Products to lead product strategy and roadmap definition, technical execution, lifecycle governance, and field performance of power and electrification technologies supporting drilling operations globally.

This role owns the end-to-end product definition for Energy Solutions offerings, including rig electrification systems, hybrid power solutions, battery‑integrated systems, and advanced power management and controls. The position is accountable for prioritizing customer needs into a clear roadmap, ensuring products are technically robust and operationally deployable, compliant with electrical standards, and aligned to value and lifecycle economics.

The role operates at the intersection of engineering, operations, sales, finance, and HSE—owning voice-of-customer inputs, translating customer power requirements and field feedback into defensible requirements and scalable product improvements, and ensuring commercial readiness for deployment at fleet scale.

1. Product Ownership (Strategy + Technical) – Energy Solutions Portfolio

    

• Act as the product owner and technical authority for Energy Solutions products across definition, design, deployment, and sustainment.
• Define and maintain product requirements, system architectures, and interface specifications, ensuring traceability to customer needs and operational constraints.
• Own product prioritization trade-offs (scope, schedule, cost, performance) in alignment with Engineering, Operations, and Commercial stakeholders.
• Own technical validation, testing protocols, and acceptance criteria prior to commercialization and fleet deployment.
• Ensure compliance with applicable electrical and industry standards (NEC, IEC, API, regional codes).
• Support product lifecycle governance, including FMEA reviews, reliability improvements, and obsolescence planning.

1. Product Strategy, Roadmap & Voice of Customer

• Develop and maintain the Energy Solutions product roadmap (near-, mid-, and long-term), grounded in customer demand, operational needs, and technology readiness.
• Lead voice-of-customer (VOC) capture through field visits, customer discussions, and internal stakeholders; translate VOC into prioritized epics/requirements.
• Define product positioning inputs and value drivers (uptime, fuel flexibility, emissions reduction, total cost of ownership) in partnership with Commercial and Finance.
• Build and maintain business cases for major product investments, including cost/benefit, risk, and deployment assumptions.
• Own launch readiness inputs (documentation, training, configuration boundaries, and acceptance criteria) to ensure scalable commercialization.

3.  Product Lifecycle Execution

• Support products through all lifecycle stages: concept, development, deployment, sustainment, and end-of-life.
• Translate market needs and operational constraints into technical product requirements and design updates.
• Partner with Engineering to guide design changes and with Operations to validate field readiness.
• Maintain technical documentation, product specifications, and deployment standards.

4. Fleet Performance & Asset Support

• Monitor technical performance of Energy Solutions fleet assets, including reliability, availability, and failure trends.
• Support incident response, RCAs, and corrective actions related to power systems and controls.
• Drive continuous technical improvements based on field data and customer feedback.
• Support vendor and supplier technical qualification and performance management.

5. Commercial & Sales Technical Support

• Provide technical support to sales and operations during customer proposals, deployments, and troubleshooting.
• Support pricing discussions by defining technical scope, configuration boundaries, and cost drivers.
• Validate technical feasibility for rental, sale, or lease‑to‑own configurations.
• Participate in customer meetings where technical credibility and power system expertise are required.

6. Market & Application Support

• Support identification of technically viable adjacent markets for Energy Solutions products.
• Evaluate product-market fit from a technical and operational execution perspective, not a marketing lens.
• Provide technical input into value propositions based on reliability, uptime, fuel flexibility, and performance.
