What this role is
Supervises technicians who install, calibrate, and maintain gas, hydrocarbon, or electricity measurement equipment in the field. At the Manager (Team Lead) (M1) level, the role owns a single team, day-to-day delivery and people issues, and drives team output and health. Direct people management of one team.
What this level does
- Oversee the daily field measurement activities of a unit of technicians conducting crude oil pipeline and gas measurement, ensuring all assignments are planned and performed safely using proper tools, permitting, and Process Safety Management precautions
- Assign and check technicians' installation, calibration, and repair of field test instrumentation, auxiliary equipment, and electronic flow measurement to protect measurement integrity
- Coordinate daily with field operations personnel and the production foreman to ensure accurate operations and reporting on the unit's assigned meters
- Respond to callouts for field operations and emergency response, dispatching technicians and verifying custody-transfer measurement is restored accurately
- Verify calibration records, measurement tolerances, and condition-survey field data captured by the team meet established standards
- Knowledge applied
- Applies functional expertise in field measurement — calibration, custody transfer, PSM, and safe use of tools — to direct a unit's daily work using established practices.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Solves limited-scope, day-to-day measurement and scheduling problems within established procedures; escalates non-routine metering issues.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Daily interaction with technicians, field operations personnel, and the production foreman on in-field measurement and reporting.
- Typical experience
- Functional measurement expert with some leadership exposure; prior time as a senior/lead measurement technician.
Skills at this level
- Custody Transfer Measurement
- — Directs the accurate measurement of crude oil and gas at points of custody transfer, ensuring meter proving, electronic flow measurement, and reconciliation meet contractual and regulatory tolerances.
- Instrumentation Calibration and Maintenance
- — Governs the installation, calibration, proving, troubleshooting, and repair of field test instrumentation and auxiliary metering equipment so measurement continues without interruption.
- Process Safety Management (PSM)
- — Ensures field measurement assignments are planned and executed under proper permitting, safety, and environmental precautions in open field environments involving high voltage and chemicals.
- Electronic Flow Measurement
- — Oversees the deployment, configuration, and integrity of electronic flow measurement systems capturing flow, pressure, and temperature data across pipeline and production sites.
- Measurement Integrity and Reporting
- — Ensures accuracy of gas and crude measurement and its reporting by verifying calibration records, tolerances, and condition-survey field data against established standards.
- Field Team Supervision
- — Leads, schedules, and develops teams of measurement technicians, allocating resources and coverage across sites including callout and emergency-response readiness.
- Meter Proving and Troubleshooting
- — Directs proving of metering equipment and root-cause troubleshooting of complex, sometimes undocumented, chemical analysis and flow measurement systems in coordination with engineers and manufacturers.
- Condition Survey and Field Inspection
- — Oversees visual field inspections, detailed condition surveys, and preparation of condition-survey reports based on field measurement data and material-defect assessment.
- Measurement Operations Budgeting
- — Sets and manages operating budgets and instrumentation capital plans for a measurement department or division, balancing accuracy, uptime, and cost.
- Field Measurement Technology Strategy
- — Defines the roadmap for measurement technology — remote telemetry, field software systems, and next-generation electronic flow measurement — across the measurement organization.
- Regulatory and Compliance Oversight
- — Ensures field measurement practices comply with safety, environmental, and custody-transfer regulations and negotiates measurement-integrity matters with regulatory and industry bodies.
