Fishing Tool Supervisor

Job Summary

EFRS is hiring an experienced Fishing Tool Supervisor to run open hole and cased hole fishing operations out of our Odessa district office. You are the company on location — you design the fishing string, direct the operation at the rig floor, and own the job from call-out through recovery and post-job reporting. This is a hands-on supervisory seat for someone who has already run jobs solo and can make the right call under pressure with the operator watching.

Responsibilities

• Respond to customer call-outs and mobilize to location with the correct tools and bottom hole assembly for the job.
• Evaluate downhole conditions from the operator’s well data, pipe tally, and job history; recommend and design the fishing or milling string.
• Supervise open hole fishing operations: stuck pipe and drill string recovery, washover and back-off operations, junk retrieval, and free-point and string-shot coordination.
• Supervise cased hole fishing operations: tubing and rod recovery, packer and bridge plug milling, retrieval of wireline tools and junk, and casing patch and whipstock support as required.
• Direct rig and workover crews on tool make-up, handling, and running procedures; verify torque, tool dimensions, fishing neck sizes, and OD/ID clearances against the well profile before the tool goes in the hole.
• Serve as the EFRS representative on location with company men, rig crews, and third-party service providers.
• Lead pre-job safety meetings and JSAs, participate in hazard hunts, and exercise and support stop-work authority.
• Complete field tickets, job reports, tool inspection records, and redress paperwork accurately and on time.
• Inspect, maintain, and account for every tool dispatched; report damage, wear, and any equipment lost in hole immediately.
• Support the shop with tool redress, assembly, and function testing between jobs.
• Train and mentor tool hands and junior operators.

Experience

• Minimum 5 years of fishing tool experience, including documented time running open hole and cased hole jobs as the supervisor on location.
• Working knowledge of fishing tool assemblies: overshots, spears, jars, intensifiers, bumper subs, safety joints, mills, washpipe, junk baskets, taper taps, die collars, and impression blocks.
• Ability to read and interpret well schematics, tubular data, and tool drawings, and to calculate string weights, tensile and torque limits, and jar placement.
• Valid driver’s license with an insurable motor vehicle record.
• H2S Clear and SafeLandUSA certification, or the ability to obtain both before first assignment.
• PEC / Rig Pass certification and the ability to be cleared through operator compliance systems (ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce, or equivalent).
• Must pass a pre-employment drug screen, background check, and fit-for-duty physical, and participate in the random testing program.
• Available for 24/7 call-out on a rotating basis, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
• Able to live within reasonable call-out distance of the Odessa district office.

Preferred Qualifications

• Permian Basin experience (Midland and Delaware basins).
• Experience with hydraulic and mechanical jarring systems and jar-placement modeling.
• Coiled tubing, snubbing, or live-well fishing experience.
• Class A or B CDL.
• Well control certification (IADC WellSharp or IWCF).
• Casing exit, whipstock, and section milling experience.
