Hi everyone,

I recently accepted an offer to join SLB as a Field Engineer Trainee in PTS and I’m curious about other people’s experiences with the role and where it led them afterward.

I’d love to hear from people who completed the training program or spent a few years as a field engineer:

• What was your day-to-day actually like?
• Did you enjoy the work/lifestyle?
• What skills from the role helped you most later on?
• How valuable was the experience for your long-term career?
• Where did you go after SLB? (operator, midstream, management, tech, different industry, etc.)
• Did you feel the experience opened doors for you?

I know the lifestyle can be demanding, but I’ve also heard the training and experience are extremely valuable early in your career. Just trying to get a realistic picture of the long-term career paths people took after finishing the program.

Would especially love to hear from people who transitioned into companies like operators, midstream, or other engineering roles afterward. Thanks!
