Position Description

Joining Fervo as a Reservoir Engineer focused on production forecasting and resource evaluation means owning the link between subsurface performance and corporate planning. This role builds and maintains production forecasts for long-term planning, supports Corporate Finance with technical inputs for budgeting, financing, and investor materials, and leads economic evaluations and resource reporting across the portfolio. The position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys translating complex subsurface data into clear, defensible numbers that inform capital allocation and company-level decisions.

The Reservoir Engineer will build and maintain portfolio-wide production forecasts, lead economic evaluations of development scenarios and capital projects, and own recoverable resource estimates. This role emphasizes forecast rigor, financial fluency, and clear communication of subsurface uncertainty to non-technical stakeholders.

The position collaborates closely with Corporate Finance, Reservoir, Development, and Executive teams to translate subsurface performance into the forecasts, valuations, and resource recovery used for long-term planning and corporate decision-making.
