Upstream Engineering SME Dicetek LLC

1. Business Requirements & Translation

• Lead discovery sessions with upstream engineering and operations stakeholders

• Capture and document engineering use cases, decision workflows, and success criteria

• Translate business and engineering needs into clear functional requirements and acceptance criteria

2. Use Case Build Support

• Provide domain input into upstream AI/analytics use cases such as:

• Reservoir performance and forecasting analytics

• Production optimization and surveillance

• Well performance diagnostics and root cause analysis

• Decline analysis and production anomaly detection

• Field development and planning decision support

• Support definition of engineering variables, calculations, and data classifications

• Validate model outputs, dashboards, and insights against engineering expectations

3. Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as a trusted interface between:

• Subsurface and production teams

• Digital product and data teams

• Support pilot deployments and phased rollouts

• Gather structured feedback from engineers and operators to refine solutions

4. Governance & Quality

• Support definition of data quality standards and engineering assumptions

• Ensure solutions align with established engineering practices and operating philosophies

• Contribute to documentation, playbooks, and governance artifacts for deployed use cases

Must‑Haves

• 5–10 years of upstream engineering experience (reservoir, production, petroleum)

• Strong communication and documentation skills

• Ability to explain engineering concepts clearly to non‑engineers

• Experience working cross‑functionally (engineering ↔ operations ↔ digital teams)

• English fluency

Nice‑to‑Haves

• Exposure to AI, advanced analytics, or digital transformation initiatives

• Familiarity with engineering or digital tools (e.g., surveillance systems, production databases, BI tools)

• Arabic language capability

Deal‑Breakers

• Candidate is purely academic or theoretical with no operational exposure

• Candidate is seeking a people‑management role (this is IC only)

• Candidate struggles to structure requirements or articulate workflows

• Candidate unwilling or unable to engage directly with technical delivery teams

Additional Notes for Recruiters

• This is a hands‑on IC role, not a leadership or managerial position

• No mandatory field travel

• No specific engineering certifications required

• Work is delivered through structured digital programs (Agile/product delivery environment)

• Exposure across the full upstream lifecycle is highly valued
