Position Overview

Our client is a global energy technology company. We are sourcing a Senior Petroleum/Production Engineer for a 2-year assignment based full-time in Nairobi, Kenya, supporting production operations at the South Lokichar Basin — one of East Africa's most significant upstream assets, targeting first oil in late 2026. This is a role for a technically exceptional engineer ready to take the lead: owning production performance, driving optimisation across all wells, and building the next generation of Kenyan petroleum engineers.

Based full-time in Nairobi, working regular office hours, you'll be the central interface between drilling, facilities, and field operations. You'll own production performance across all wells in the South Lokichar Basin, lead artificial lift strategy, troubleshoot flow assurance issues, and interface with facilities to keep surface and subsurface aligned. Periodic travel to the Lokichar field site in Turkana will be required.
