The Technical Engineering Manager plays a critical role in supporting the company’s strategic growth objectives by bringing deep engineering expertise into the corporate development process. This hybrid role bridges engineering, commercial analysis, and M&A execution, ensuring that technical assumptions, operational insights, and asset‑level risks are accurately represented in valuations, diligence, and strategic recommendations. The ideal candidate has strong engineering fundamentals combined with the ability to evaluate assets, model development scenarios, and partner with cross‑functional teams to assess opportunities across the energy value chain.

• Lead the technical assessment of acquisition, divestiture, and joint venture opportunities, integrating subsurface, production, facility, and operational data
• Review engineering inputs—including decline curves, type curves, reserves, facility constraints, capital programs, and operating cost structures—to validate key value drivers
• Assess asset integrity, operational risks, and regulatory considerations across upstream, midstream, power, industrial, or low‑carbon assets (depending on company focus)
• Coordinate with internal engineering teams to develop technical assumptions for development cases, capital planning, and long‑range forecasts
• Evaluate asset sustainability metrics, emissions intensity, and energy‑transition considerations for inclusion in investment analyses
• Provide engineering‑driven insights to enhance financial models, including production projections, capital schedules, operating profiles, and risk factors
• Support the end‑to‑end M&A process, including screening, diligence, competitive benchmarking, market analysis, and integration readiness
• Conduct technical due diligence, including review of operating data, facilities, maintenance history, environmental compliance, and development plans
• Summarize engineering findings into concise commercial implications for executive audiences and investment committees
• Contribute to negotiation strategies by identifying technical risks, value levers, and structural considerations influencing deal terms
• Utilize engineering and analytical software (e.g., Aries, PHDWin, Spotfire, Power BI, Python‑based analysis tools) to validate and pressure‑test assumptions
• Apply Python for workflow automation, scenario analysis, probabilistic modeling, and integration of large datasets
• Build and maintain standardized tools for asset benchmarking, decline‑curve automation, data cleansing, and engineering assumptions
• Collaborate with data engineering teams to enhance data quality and improve visibility of technical KPIs
• Serve as the technical subject‑matter expert for Corporate Development, partnering with Finance, Land, Legal, Strategy, Operations, and ESG teams
• Coach team members on engineering fundamentals that impact valuation and deal economics
• Provide strategic input for portfolio optimization, capital allocation decisions, and long‑term development strategies
• Support post‑acquisition integration efforts by aligning engineering assumptions with operational teams and capital planning processes

• Strong understanding of production engineering, facilities engineering, reservoir fundamentals, or energy system operations
• Experience supporting A&D, corporate development, planning, or asset evaluation workflows
