Roles and Responsibilities
I am writing to express my interest in the [Rig Manager / Assistant Rig Manager / Workover Supervisor] position at [Company Name]. With 12+ years of experience in the oil and gas industry across Kuwait and Egypt—rising from Assistant Driller to Rig Manager—I bring a strong blend of operational leadership, well control expertise, and HSE-driven performance on land rigs and workover environments. In my current role as Rig Manager with Sinotharwa Drilling Company (Kuwait), I oversee full rig operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant drilling activities in line with API, IADC, and local regulatory standards. I am responsible for crew leadership, equipment performance, HSE implementation, and coordination with clients and stakeholders to achieve project targets on time and within cost. I have a proven track record in optimizing drilling processes, reducing downtime, and maintaining a zero-incident safety culture through strict adherence to procedures and continuous coaching of rig crews. Previously, as Assistant Rig Manager and Driller with Burgan Company for Well Drilling, Trading & Maintenance, I contributed to the discovery of new petroleum reservoirs, the development of cost-efficient recovery methods, and the innovation of extraction techniques for mature reservoirs. My hands-on background has given me strong capability in technical troubleshooting, problem-solving, and applying advanced drilling technologies to improve operational efficiency and well performance in challenging environments. My career foundation was built as an Assistant Driller at DASCO Drilling Company (Egypt), where I worked through all major rig positions during my training period, gaining a 360° understanding of rig operations, equipment, and safety-critical routines. Earlier experience as a Service Manager in the automotive sector further strengthened my skills in operations management, customer orientation, budgeting, and team leadership, all of which I carried into my oil and gas career. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Petroleum Engineering from Suez Canal University, and I am certified with: • IWCF / IADC Well Control (valid until 2027) • OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Standards Training • Working at Height • H2S Safety • Work Permit System Training • Stuck Pipe Prevention and Recovery • Rig Mathematics These certifications, combined with my field experience, allow me to manage critical operations under pressure, respond effectively to emergencies, and mitigate operational risks while protecting people, assets, and the environment. I am confident that my rig leadership experience, strong HSE mindset, and well control competency would enable me to add value to [Company Name]—whether in leading a rig, supporting workover operations, or strengthening drilling performance and safety culture.
