Job Title: Workover Consultant

Our Vision: Rig Up is where the best workers power the world's most successful projects. We are united by a common mission: to deliver services and technology that fundamentally change how skilled workers and the businesses they serve get hard work done.

Job Description

This role provides senior-level technical consulting support for high-risk well intervention operations involving complex fishing, coiled tubing recovery, and wellbore re-entry activities. The consultant is responsible for managing challenging downhole conditions, including stuck or parted coiled tubing, long-term wellbore obstructions, and failed abandonment scenarios requiring cement drill-out and wellbore restoration. The position requires advanced well control expertise, strong decision-making ability, and extensive hands-on experience in fishing and intervention operations in critical well conditions.

Responsibilities

• Provide expert technical guidance for complex fishing operations involving stuck or parted coiled tubing and downhole equipment
• Evaluate well conditions and develop safe, executable intervention and recovery strategies for high-risk scenarios
• Maintain continuous focus on well control integrity and barrier management throughout all operations
• Advise on pressure control, kill procedures, and safe operating practices during unstable or uncertain well conditions
• Support planning and execution of multiple well re-entry operations, including cement drill-out from surface to total depth
• Assess risks associated with trapped pressure, degraded tubing, unknown wellbore conditions, and long-term shut-in wells
• Provide real-time decision support during rig-based fishing, milling, and intervention activities
• Guide selection and application of fishing tools, milling assemblies, and wellbore cleanout equipment
• Ensure proper well control practices are followed without reliance on continuous supervision
• Support troubleshooting of stuck pipe, obstruction removal, and complex wellbore recovery operations
• Assist in preparing wells for subsequent abandonment or re-abandonment operations following remediation
• Review operational procedures and provide recommendations for safe execution of high-risk tasks
• Act as technical authority for intervention risk mitigation and operational sequencing

Skills and Qualifications

• Extensive, demonstrated experience in coiled tubing intervention and advanced fishing operations
• Strong background in high-risk well control environments, including compromised or uncertain wellbores
• Deep hands-on expertise in recovering stuck or parted tubing and downhole obstructions
• Proven ability to independently manage well control situations without continuous supervision or instruction
• Extensive experience with well intervention, workover, and complex rig-based recovery operations
• Knowledge of cement drill-out, milling, and full wellbore re-entry operations
• Strong understanding of barrier management and pressure control principles
• Ability to assess and manage high-consequence operational risk in real time
• Experience working with long-duration shut-in or legacy wells with unknown downhole conditions
• Strong troubleshooting skills in complex, unstable, or unpredictable well environments
• Ability to make critical technical decisions under pressure in safety-sensitive environments
• Well control certification (IWCF or IADC) or equivalent field-proven expertise required
• Minimum extensive field experience in fishing, intervention, or workover operations (senior-level capability expected)
