About the Role

We are a specialized engineering and testing operation supporting qualification and validation testing of downhole tools.

  • Safely rig and handle large assemblies using forklifts, cranes, and lifting fixtures
  • Follow detailed test procedures exactly and identify discrepancies or risks before execution.

  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safety-first testing environment

Physical Capability

  • Able to perform physically demanding work, including rigging, lifting, and manual assembly
  • Comfortable working with large, heavy components

Equipment Handling

  • Demonstrated safe operation of forklifts and lifting equipment

Critical Attributes

  • Extremely detail-oriented; mistakes are rare and unacceptable
  • Methodical, disciplined, and procedure-driven
  • Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
  • Willing to stop work and escalate when something is unclear or unsafe
  • Takes personal ownership of quality and safety

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a general labor or helper position
  • Not suitable for candidates who rely on "learning as they go".
  • Not tolerant of repeated mistakes or procedural shortcuts

Engagement Details

  • Flexible part-time schedule (1–5 days per week)
  • Hourly contract role
  • Long-term opportunity for the right individual
