• Identify failure trends and initiate corrective actions to improve tool reliability.
• Maintain a database of tool runs, failure modes, and repair history.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

• Lead investigations into tool failures, service quality incidents, and NPT events.
• Use structured RCA methodologies (e.g., 5 Whys, Fishbone, FMEA) to identify root causes.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and field teams to implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

Data Analytics & Reporting

• Develop dashboards and reports to monitor KPIs such as MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), tool utilization, and service quality.
• Provide insights to operations and engineering teams to support decision-making.
• Support digital initiatives for predictive maintenance and reliability modeling.

Tool Qualification & Field Trials

• Support the qualification of new CTD tools and technologies.
• Plan and monitor field trials, ensuring proper data capture and post-run analysis.
• Provide feedback to R&D and product engineering teams.

Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain accurate records of tool configurations, modifications, and performance logs.
• Ensure compliance with internal quality standards and client-specific requirements.
• Participate in audits and service quality reviews.

Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Petroleum, or Reliability Engineering.
• 4–6 years of experience in Coiled Tubing or Well Intervention operations, with a focus on tool reliability or maintenance.
• Strong understanding of CTD tools, downhole dynamics, and failure mechanisms.
• Familiarity with reliability tools and software (e.g., Weibull analysis, SAP PM, Power BI).

Key Competencies:

• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.
