Description
To explain what it means to go beyond the traditional role of technician, one must first define the role of “technician.” Wow, that’s a task. There are engineering technicians, geo-technicians, production technicians, petroleum analysts, reservoir technicians, land technicians, health and safety technicians, regulatory technicians, … the list goes on. Really, the term “technician” is the title given to individuals that support technical teams at oil and gas companies and service companies, and we perform all sorts of tasks from making copies to making recommendations on multi-billion dollar transactions. QED believes that no matter what your role, you can “go beyond” what is expected of you and find ways to add even more value to your organization. Taking the extra steps to add value to your organization is what leads us from obscure titles like “hydrocarbon assistant” to roles and responsibilities worth fighting for, like “Technical Manager.” In this presentation, we will review case studies of individuals like Dale Malody, Marathon Oil Company, who started out in the oil and gas industry in 1980 as an engineering technician and is now Operations Manager of Marathon’s Oklahoma City office. We will review practical and applicable steps that technicians in any role can apply to move forward and “go beyond” all expectations.
