Job Description & How to Apply Below
Position: Geomechanics Specialist / Geomechanics Numerical Modeler

We are seeking a motivated and experienced Geomechanics Numerical Modeler with strong expertise in computational modeling, solid mechanics, and finite element methods. This role will support well planning and geomechanical projects in oil & gas applications and CO2 storage, with a focus on solving complex subsurface problems through numerical modeling.

RESPONSIBILITES
  • Utilize numerical modeling tools and software to solve subsurface problems involving stresses, pore pressure, and deformations.
  • Develop and implement innovative workflows, tools, and modeling approaches with minimal supervision.
  • Integrate numerical results with experimental geomechanics or field observations to improve prediction and decision making.
  • Collaborate across technical disciplines and global teams to deploy solutions into operational workflows.
  • Deliver high-quality technical reports and presentations to internal and external audiences.

You bring deep technical skills, creativity, and a passion for numerical problem solving. Strong foundation in geomechanics, finite element modeling, and rock constitutive behavior is essential.

Excellent communication, teamwork, and project management abilities are expected. Work effectively with a diverse, multicultural, geographically distributed teams.

Skills and Qualifications
  • 5-15 years of experience in application of geomechanical modeling for subsurface applications in oil and gas
  • MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Geophysics, Geology or related field.
  • Expertise in computational modeling of deformation, stresses, and coupled systems (solid-thermal or poro-mechanics).
  • Experience in developing or applying mathematical/numerical models to solid and multi physics problems.
  • Experience with subsurface geomechanics applications (e.g., reservoir compaction, fault reactivation, casing/completion deformation, stress prediction for well planning, hydraulic fracturing).
Preferred Qualifications / Experience
  • Experience with modeling tools (e.g., ABAQUS, VISAGE, ANSYS, Reveal, VISAGE, Elfen, Petrel) and high-performance computing environments.
  • Ability to develop or modify code in MATLAB, Python, or other programming languages.
  • Industry experience in geomechanical modeling is highly desirable.
