Too often, oil and gas field operations teams are tasked to do the impossible: maximize production, keep costs low and ensure impeccable compliance all while the data and communication coming at them can be overwhelming.

With EZ Ops, operations teams can generate the cleanest most profitable hydrocarbons in the world. Today, we deliver value to over 20% of Canada's oil and gas businesses.
We are looking for a Product Designer with UX/UI experience to ensure we deliver an effective, enjoyable product experience to users at the oilfield frontline and in head office.
Our EZ Ops Group of Companies have a bold vision and a culture of innovation and accountability. Everyone on the team is invited to think and act like a company owner, with a voice on how to solve problems, support to develop your skills, and stock options to prove we’re in this together. We also offer a generous vacation and flex day package as we strongly feel people need time away to rest and take care of themselves.
