Field Operator (Union)

Cavvy Energy is a Canadian energy company headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Through several corporate and asset acquisitions the Company has grown into a significant upstream and midstream producer with assets concentrated in the Canadian Foothills, producing conventional natural gas, NGLs, condensate and sulphur.

Management is excited about Cavvy’s opportunities and prospects within our existing asset base in the Canadian Foothills; during the past year Cavvy has strategically refocused on sustaining and growing its upstream exploration and production (“E&P”) and midstream business. Our objective is to continue Cavvy’s pivot towards growing a sustainable and profitable conventional Foothills oil and natural gas business while continuing to explore opportunities to diversify market access for the products we produce.

Position summary:

Reporting to the Field Operations Foreman, with day-to-day direction from the Lead Operator, the Field Operator is responsible for the safe operation and condition of assigned wells, Compressor stations, Booster Compressor stations, and gathering systems within a field area. The Field Operator operates equipment within established operating envelopes, monitors production, and takes corrective action to maintain safe, reliable, on-specification production.

Working from a field station and across dispersed field sites, the Field Operator monitors operations via SCADA/HMI and physical rounds, performs operator preventive maintenance and minor maintenance, supports isolation and work control, executes corrosion-mitigation and chemical programs, and accurately records field data. The role is a key entry and development pathway toward the Lead Operator position.
This is a field-based role with frequent work in open environments with extremes of heat and cold, often in proximity to High voltage and/or chemicals which require safety precautions such as protective clothing and equipment, and with significant driving and periods of lone work across dispersed field sites. This day-based role is subject to callouts for work associated with abnormal field operations and/or emergency response activities. This includes weekends, evenings, and holidays. This is a safety-sensitive role that may be subject to testing to ensure fitness to work.
