This role is responsible for ensuring safe, reliable, compliant, and high-performance drilling operations across Chevron's U.S. unconventional business, including operations in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Bakken, among others.  This position also provides a unique opportunity to support Chevron’s global operations, particularly in Latin America. Given the potential for engagement with operations and stakeholders in countries such as Argentina and Venezuela, Spanish fluency is strongly preferred.

Provide leadership and direction to rig contractors and service providers to ensure work is performed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with contractual obligations and Chevron requirements. Manage all drilling operations and wellsite logistics to ensure reliable and efficient execution of the drilling program. Foster a high-performance culture through the communication of performance expectations, benchmarking, operational metrics, and continuous improvement initiatives. Promote a strong safety culture through visible leadership, hazard identification, risk mitigation, and active participation in safety processes. Actively share lessons learned, best practices, and operational insights across drilling teams and business units. Utilize digital technologies and performance tools including WellView®, Corva®, Polarion®, and other Chevron-approved applications to monitor and optimize drilling performance. Ensure operational readiness using Plans of Action (POAs), checklists, verification processes, and assurance activities. Communicate effectively with field personnel, engineering teams, contractors, and business partners while seeking and incorporating constructive feedback. Ability to communicate effectively in both English and Spanish is highly desirable to support field operations and contractor engagement. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including drilling, completions, subsurface, HSE, logistics, and facility personnel. Ensure WellSafe requirements are always met to maintain well control, well integrity, and barrier assurance, including management of well control events when required. Drive continuous improvement through operational reviews, root cause analysis, and implementation of corrective actions.
