Forging the Future: Building a Legacy Through Generational Talent

Investing in the next generation to uphold excellence, safety, and innovation in wireline services.

At Renegade Wireline Services, we believe in the power of investing in the next generation. As a company built on a foundation of hard work, safety, and innovation, our commitment to recruiting and mentoring goes beyond filling positions; it’s about ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of our organization.

By fostering a culture of growth, collaboration, and ownership, we are shaping the future of our company and the industry.

A Generational Approach to Success

We consider our company to be a generational company, where the knowledge and expertise of seasoned professionals are passed down to the next wave of talent. This philosophy ensures that the company’s values and operational excellence remain consistent across decades.

“We feel it’s easier to train than retrain, so we like to find younger personnel, teach them how to work, teach them how to turn a wrench. When we do this, we find that we build a loyal employee base.”

Matt Gray, President Renegade Services

This dedication to cultivating talent from within is reflected in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which allows employees to share in the ownership of the company.

Rayan Alqarni, an intern pursuing a degree in Petroleum Engineering, expressed his gratitude for the experience gained from mentors at Renegade Wireline Services.

“This experience has reinforced my commitment to my field of study. Working with Renegade has not only deepened my understanding of the industry but also challenged me to learn and grow in ways I hadn’t anticipated,”

Through hands-on training and mentorship from experienced professionals, interns gain invaluable insights into the industry.

“The chance to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations has been an eye-opening and rewarding experience,” Alqarni continued. “I have been fortunate enough to learn from engineers with vast experience in wireline operations. Their mentorship exposed me to the complex problem-solving that wireline services require and the critical role these services play in the oil and gas production process.” 

A Culture of Collaboration and Safety

This sense of camaraderie motivates employees at all levels to contribute their best and work together toward common goals.

“What I deeply appreciate about Renegade is the family-like environment that is fostered within the company,” Alqarni emphasized. “The genuine willingness to help, support, and teach one another is something that truly stands out.”

Safety, a cornerstone of operations at Renegade, is also integral to training programs.

“The safety culture at Renegade is something I truly admire,” Alqarni noted. “From daily safety briefings to the detailed implementation of safety protocols, Renegade ensures that every team member is equipped to work safely.”

This unwavering commitment to safety not only protects employees but also enhances the company’s reputation and operational success.

A Vision for Global Impact

Our dedication to developing talent and fostering a culture of excellence positions it for continued growth and success.

As Alqarni aptly put it, “The quality of work and the exceptional talent within the company position Renegade as a potential leader in the international wireline services market. The company’s values, correlated with its outstanding operational practices, make it clear that Renegade is well-equipped to thrive on the global stage.”

We want to thank Rayan Alqarni personally for his great feedback and for the hard and meaningful work he put in during his internship with us.

 

At Renegade, we see investing in the next generation as more than just a business strategy; it’s a commitment to our legacy and the future of the industry. By training, mentoring, and empowering younger employees, we are building a resilient and innovative workforce that will carry our company forward for years to come, and by mentoring youth who are interested in joining the industry. Together, we are shaping a future where excellence, safety, and collaboration continue to define who we are.
