Full Job Description Job Title:
Measurement Technician (Oil & Gas) Position Summary The Measurement Technician is responsible for the accurate, reliable, and compliant measurement of oil, natural gas, condensate, NGLs, and related products across production, gathering, pipeline, and custody-transfer facilities. The role ensures quantity and quality data meet contractual, regulatory, and company standards (API MPMS, AGA, GPA, and applicable federal/state rules such as BLM, RRC, or DOT). Work is primarily field-based and involves installation, calibration, proving, sampling, troubleshooting, and documentation of measurement systems. Key Responsibilities Install, commission, inspect, calibrate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair measurement equipment, including: Electronic flow meters (EFMs)/flow computers Orifice meters, Coriolis meters, ultrasonic meters, turbine meters, positive-displacement meters LACT units and related systems Pressure, temperature, and differential-pressure transmitters Gas chromatographs, analyzers (H₂S, CO₂, O₂, H₂O), and composite/spot samplers Perform or witness meter provings, orifice plate inspections/changes, and third-party custody-transfer calibrations; document results. Collect and handle oil, condensate, and gas samples; perform or support quality tests (gravity, BS&W, BTU, composition). Program, configure, and maintain electronic flow measurement devices and associated communications (radio, cellular, SCADA interfaces). Monitor volumes, detect measurement errors or lost-and-unaccounted-for product, apply corrections, and support volume allocations and system balances. Maintain accurate records, test schedules, calibration certificates, and audit-ready documentation in company systems (CMMS, FDM, SAP/Maximo, or equivalent). Ensure compliance with API, AGA, GPA, company standards, and regulatory requirements; support internal and external audits. Coordinate with operations, automation, engineering, accounting, and third-party purchasers; respond to measurement inquiries. Perform general facility upkeep related to measurement sites and practice strict HSE standards (PPE, LOTO, hazard recognition, emergency response). Work independently or with minimal supervision; respond to on-call needs, overtime, nights, weekends, and varying weather conditions as required. Qualifications Required High school diploma or GED. Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record (company vehicle use is common). 3+ years of relevant experience (depending on level), ideally in oil & gas measurement, instrumentation, production operations, or SCADA/automation. Ability to work outdoors in temperature extremes, climb (e.g., tanks or structures), lift 50+ lbs, and perform physical field tasks. Basic computer proficiency (Microsoft Office; ability to learn measurement software and CMMS). Strong mechanical/electrical aptitude and troubleshooting skills. Commitment to safety and regulatory compliance. Preferred Technical certification in instrumentation, electronics, electrical technology, or related field. Experience with specific systems (Fisher ROC, Totalflow, CygNet, FMS, etc.). Working knowledge of
API MPMS, AGA-3/14.3, GPA
sampling standards, and custody-transfer practices. Prior experience with LACT units, meter proving, gas quality analysis, or pipeline measurement. Familiarity with low-voltage systems (12-24 VDC) and reading electrical/P&ID drawings. Working Conditions Field-based role supporting well sites, tank batteries, meter stations, and pipelines. Travel between locations is routine. Schedule is typically daytime with flexibility for call-outs, overtime, and occasional weekends/holidays. Physical demands and exposure to oilfield hazards (hydrocarbons, H₂S potential, weather) are inherent to the position.
