Job Summary:

The Underwriter I plays a key role in supporting Community Minerals’ acquisition strategy by assisting in technical evaluations, production forecasting, and economic analyses to assess acquisition opportunities, primarily for marketed deals.

• Focus on smaller and less complex marketed deals, ensuring technical accuracy while building foundational experience.
• Work under close supervision, following structured processes and established evaluation methods.
• Participate in training and team discussions in a supporting capacity, continuously developing technical and analytical capabilities.
• Follow defined underwriting standards and contribute to consistent process execution across the team.

  • Experience:

    • 1–2 years of experience in reserves evaluation, production analysis, or technical research.

Soft Skills:

• High attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong willingness to learn and apply new technical concepts.
• Clear communication and the ability to collaborate in remote teams.
• Receptive to feedback and committed to continuous development.

Industry Knowledge:

• Foundational knowledge of upstream oil and gas operations, production, and well lifecycle.
