More specifically, a Field Foreman or Superintendent may be responsible for performing the following functions:

  • Organize and coordinate activities of service and field office personnel.
  • Supervise well completions, workovers, stimulations and construction projects.
  • Optimize well, plant and battery operating and production efficiency.
  • Monitor field operating costs, prepare invoice approvals, expense and workover reports, and inventory transfers.
  • Stay abreast of all government and regulatory agency regulations with respect to safety and environmental matters and ensure compliance with these and the Company policy.

  • Coordinate activities with the department manager and other department staff.
  • Work with other departments to ensure processes are efficient and meeting internal standards.

Field Foremen and Superintendents generally require a Diploma in Petroleum Engineering and direct field experience has been considered an asset.

A Field Foreman and Superintendent in this role works closely with other team members in the field and in the office and may be required to visit office locations on an occasional basis. A Field Foreman and Superintendent are required to be on-call and attend to emergencies that occur outside of regular office hours.
