NexPro Energy is a fully integrated and capable of managing any oil and gas delivery project from start to finish - ranging from prospect identification to asset decommissioning and restoration. We are an independent exploration and production company with a growing upstream portfolio. Our immediate focus is an offshore marginal field preparing for first oil, and we are building the production engineering and operations capability to carry it from first oil through full field development.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Lead Production Engineer
Location: Lagos
Responsibilities
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will:
Deliver first oil through the interim crude evacuation route during the Extended Well Test — contracting, mobilization, operational readiness, and contractor performance
Lead the permanent export solution from concept-select through FEED, execution and start-up
Lead the production engineering and surface-facilities inputs into the post-first-oil Field Development Plan
Build and run the production engineering and operations function as the field scales
Own production economics and the opex budget, and own metering, allocation and crude custody transfer
What we are looking for
Degree in Petroleum, Chemical or Mechanical Engineering
8+ years in production engineering and/or production operations offshore, including a first-oil or early-production start-up
Experience delivering an interim evacuation or early production scheme — EPF delivery, marine offtake, FPSO/FSO operations or similar — including mobilizing and operating it, not procurement alone
Contract and contractor performance management on a mobilizing or operating scope
Exposure to full field development: facilities definition, concept-select, FEED, and the production inputs into a Field Development Plan
Additional Information:On-site in Lagos with field and offshore trips. Resumption within 4–6 weeks of offer. Competitive compensation based on experience.
A detailed job description is available on request.
