This role requires hands‑on knowledge of field-based water-transfer systems, water lines, hose and poly systems, pond‑to‑pond transfers, frac‑pad operations, and rig‑up/rig‑down activities. The Water Transfer Tech will provide direct field oversight of contractors, ensuring crews are using the proper tools, equipment, procedures, and safe work practices.

• Attend and oversee rig-up and rig-down (RU/RD) activities for water-transfer operations.
• Support water-transfer activities associated with frac pads, construction, drilling, and completions.
• Work with and oversee field water lines, hose, poly pipe, connections, pumps, and associated water-transfer equipment.
• Support pond-to-pond and supply-to-receiver-site water transfers.
• Bird-dog contractors in the field, providing active oversight of contractor activities and work execution.
• Verify contractors are using the correct tools and equipment and following established procedures and standards.
• Support and perform verification and validation of contractor compliance with Exxon Mobil safety-program expectations, including PSMS and WMS requirements.
• Serve as the Water Management/Water Transfer representative at receiver sites.
• Monitor water-transfer systems and check lines, connections, equipment, and transfer points for leaks.
• Verify setup readiness for third-party sales activities.
• Verify connections, equipment, metering, and overall system readiness and integrity.
• Support diesel-extract activities as required.
• Maintain a strong field presence and coordinate with contractors and site personnel to ensure safe and efficient execution.
• No EFT/Open Ticket responsibilities.

2–5 years of relevant experience is required/ideal, with direct water-transfer experience strongly desired. Candidates should have practical field experience with water-transfer operations, including rig-ups/rig-downs, frac pads, water lines, hose/poly systems, pond-to-pond transfers, contractor oversight, and safe equipment/tool usage.
