Global drilling fleet operator building automation and real-time performance platforms
Nabors operates one of the world's largest onshore drilling fleets across ~20 countries, now investing heavily in automation (SCADA, DCS, HMI) and cloud-based tooling (Azure, OCI, AWS). Engineering and operations roles dominate the 208 active job postings, with junior-to-mid-level hiring accelerating — a pattern consistent with scaling field automation and real-time drilling performance systems. The tech stack (Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Oracle stack, Dynamics 365) and active projects (autonomous drilling robots, real-time performance platforms, cloud-based tools) signal a shift from traditional rig operations toward digitized, data-driven drilling.
