Spring, TX 77389 (Onsite) Raise is currently hiring a contract team member on behalf of our client. They're expanding their team to meet growing needs, making this a unique opportunity to work with an industry leader. Overview Our client is seeking a Senior Reservoir Engineer to support its Carbon Storage projects, applying reservoir engineering and simulation expertise across the full project lifecycle, from site screening and appraisal through development, operations, and long-term storage stewardship. Working inside a multidisciplinary team, the engineer builds and evaluates dynamic reservoir models, assesses injectivity and pressure management, and helps mature carbon storage assets into safe, compliant operations. The role also carries a technical leadership component: guiding and mentoring reservoir engineers and supporting peer reviews that keep the Reservoir Team's technical standards high. This is a contractor position and calls for deep, hands-on reservoir engineering experience in oil and gas or carbon storage. Responsibilities Build, history match, and maintain reservoir simulation models, including INTERSECT or ECLIPSE, to support carbon storage resource assessment, development planning, and operational decisions. Evaluate reservoir performance, injectivity, pressure evolution, and storage efficiency through analytical and numerical reservoir engineering studies. Conduct storage resource assessments, forecasting, and uncertainty analyses to support project maturation and investment decisions. Identify, assess, and communicate reservoir risks tied to injectivity, pressure management, plume migration, and long-term storage performance. Support appraisal planning, development planning, and injection well programs through performance forecasting and reservoir engineering evaluations. Interpret pressure transient tests, well tests, and interference data to sharpen reservoir characterization and surveillance. Develop and evaluate injection optimization strategies that protect storage integrity while meeting regulatory requirements. Lead or participate in peer reviews to uphold high technical standards across the Reservoir Team. Partner with geoscience, drilling, regulatory, and monitoring specialists to deliver integrated subsurface solutions. Contribute to technical documentation and regulatory deliverables that support carbon storage permitting. Mentor less experienced reservoir engineers on simulation work and other technical studies. Present technical findings, risks, and recommendations clearly to management, partners, and other stakeholders. Qualifications University degree in engineering, geoscience, or a related field. Demonstrated reservoir engineering experience in the oil and gas industry, applied to carbon storage, depletion, or related subsurface work. Hands-on reservoir simulation experience, including model construction, history matching, and forecasting in INTERSECT or ECLIPSE. Working knowledge of PVT, inflow/outflow, relative permeability, and SCAL evaluations that feed into simulation studies. Experience with pressure transient testing, well test interpretation, and reservoir surveillance. Ability to identify reservoir issues and independently develop and execute solutions. Comfort working across multidisciplinary teams spanning geoscience, drilling, regulatory, and monitoring specialists. Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to brief audiences from senior management to field engineers. Willingness to guide and mentor less experienced engineers. Proficiency with standard computer tools, including Microsoft Office. Willingness to travel or work away from home for extended periods, as project needs require. Looking for meaningful work?
