⭐ Why This Role Stands Out

This is a true upstream technical role, not a traditional virtual assistant position. You’ll work directly with a senior executive, President & CEO, and petroleum engineer who leads multiple oil and gas investments and operations.

You’ll play a critical role in technical evaluation, economic analysis, and decision support—helping ensure that key data, risks, and opportunities are clearly analyzed and presented for high-level investment and participation decisions.

If you enjoy independent analytical work, deep technical analysis, and supporting executive-level decisions, this role offers long-term stability and meaningful exposure across upstream assets. 📊📈

🧩 About the Role

As an Oil & Gas Technical Analyst (Upstream), you will support technical appraisal and economic evaluation of oil and gas projects. Your work will directly inform investment decisions across wells, prospects, and reserves.

You’ll handle production data, decline analysis, type curves, economics, and technical documentation—while also helping organize information flow for an executive with limited daytime availability.

This role is ideal for an engineer or geologist who is analytical, detail-focused, discreet, and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision.
