Company Information

QB Energy is on a clear path to becoming one of the top natural gas producers in the country, backed by Quantum Energy Partners, one of the top private equity firms in energy, with a 20-year drilling inventory and integrated upstream and midstream operations built to compete with the best gas projects in North America. We create long-term value through continuous improvement and bold innovation — and we're looking for entrepreneurial people who want to help build that future, not just work in it.

Operating across roughly 400,000 net acres in the Piceance Basin of Western Colorado, we're proving that aggressive growth and real environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Join a team that takes as much pride in how we build this company as in what we produce.

The Facilities Engineer II/III supports QB Energy's Midstream & Regulatory department, focused on the design, evaluation, and optimization of surface production and gathering infrastructure across the Piceance Basin (Garfield and Rio Blanco Counties, Colorado). The Facilities Engineer II/III supports compression, gas gathering, liquid handling, pipeline, and production facility systems on federal, split estate, and fee acreage under BLM (WRFO, Grand Valley) and ECMC jurisdiction — building core engineering skills alongside hands‑on exposure to regulatory compliance, capital projects, and field operations in one of Colorado's most active gas basins.

QB Energy supports PE licensure pursuit and offers early‑career exposure to a technically diverse, ESG‑focused environment. Ideal candidates are motivated self‑starters able to manage multiple assignments with limited supervision and travel regularly to field locations.
