Job Description
About the Role
As a Data Analyst at NOV Downhole Broadband Solutions, you will serve as the primary technical and analytical support for our real-time and memory-based drilling services. Acting as a key focal point across up to three rigs at a time, you will monitor operations, interpret complex downhole datasets, and provide timely recommendations that enhance drilling performance, manage risk, and protect wellbore integrity.
You will support Project Managers as an in-house drilling advisor, own critical analytical workflows (from optimization reporting to post-well reviews), and act as a technical escalation point for both internal teams and clients. This role combines deep drilling domain knowledge with strong analytical skills and offers the opportunity to contribute directly to new software solutions, advanced tools, and industry-leading technical publications.
