About this job
Field Specialists form
the operational backbone of Baker Hughes, performing skilled technical
services, usually at the wellsite. Field Specialists carry out a demanding,
hands-on role, often working in harsh and challenging environments, making use
of all the latest technologies to deliver solutions to our clients. Field
specialists lead the delivery of services and products to our clients. Field
specialists work in close collaboration with our clients in
offshore and
onshore locations to ensure flawless and safe execution of the various services
that are offered under Baker Hughes. Field Specialists will participate in the
structured Field Specialist Development Program (FSDP) to quickly become
competent with our technologies and processes taking them from a basic level to
an advanced level in their assigned product line.
There is no doubt that
the job of a Field Specialist is demanding, both mentally and physically. When
at the rig site you will be required to work 12 hours shifts (day or night).
You might also be required to work extra hours depending on the operational
demand. Depending on your product line you may be assembling, moving and
operating heavy equipment, in all weather conditions during day and night
hours.
The role will require
extensive time away from home to undertake training or to gain hands on
experience. You may also be required to work weekends and public holidays as
business needs dictate. You should expect to work in a variety of environments
including workshops and on rig sites; either on land or offshore. Field
specialists are expected to do a lot of travelling between their assigned
operating bases and remote oilfield locations. If you prefer a typical office
job with normal office hours from morning till afternoon then the Field specialist
position is not the best fit for you.
The FSDP involves
theoretical and hands-on learning to allow you to become a technical expert in
your assigned product line. The FSDP consists of four developmental steps, the
first step to be completed within 12 months. In your first year you can expect
to work under supervision and to participate in instructor led training. After
the first year, your progress will be self paced and you will continue to
increase your technical competencies through instructor led training courses
and on the job training. As you progress through FSDP you will be expected to
increase your technical capabilities and work with minimal supervision as you
master the delivery of basic and advanced services in your product line. Although
you are likely to stay and build your career in the field, once you complete
the FSDP, you can move into various roles, including field operations,
technical support, application engineering, sales or management.
