At Mergent Group, we’re not just recruiting talent — we’re backing people who want their work to mean something real. You’ll play a crucial role on the ground, working closely with Well Test Supervisors and clients to deliver high-quality data that drives decision-making.

  • Base Salary: $101,000 – $113,000 p.a.
  • FIFO Roster: Predominantly 2 on / 2 off from Adelaide
  • Field Allowance: $105.91/day
  • Overcycle Allowance: $895/day (we pay well for the extra effort)
  • Meals, flights, and accommodation provided
  • Work hard, holiday harder — earn up to $180k + super and clock out for a getaway every two weeks!    

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Setting up and operating data acquisition systems (think Fekete, SCAN, Fardux, EDGE, WDSS — you know the drill)
  • Supporting Well Test Supervisors with accurate, real-time field data
  • Rigging up sensors, validating data, and interpreting P&IDs
  • Troubleshooting hardware/software issues in the thick of it
  • Coordinating job planning and equipment readiness
  • Creating clean, client-ready reports with attention to detail
  • Ensuring top-tier safety and quality standards on every job
  • Acting like a data ninja in the field – with strong comms and steady hands

You’ll Need To Bring:

  • Experience with DAQ systems (Fekete, SCAN, WDSS, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of well testing and field ops
  • Top-notch problem-solving skills — calm under pressure
  • First Aid Cert & general site readiness
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a high-performing team
  • Solid computer literacy (you’ll be logging, coding, and proofing like a pro)
