Starting Salary: $115,000/year

The Opportunity:

The Short-Range Planner is responsible for developing optimized refinery run plans incorporating all aspects of the refinery supply chain including the movement of crude, products, dark oils, biofuels, and renewable feedstocks. Making use of the refinery LP (Petro), this role focuses on increasing economic refinery utilization, optimizing product inventory and slates, and determining the "make or buy" for product supply to the market. This position plays a crucial role in optimizing the “Crude to Customer” value chain, ensuring the refinery is running optimally without compromising safe or reliable operations.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and construct the M1 to M3 Short Range Operating Plan (SROP) for the refinery and the Supply group.
• Own the development, guidance and execution of the monthly plan with multi-disciplinary team that maximizes monthly and forward looking gross margins inclusive of providing the refining/coprocessing value and margins for all products, plant operating units and the multitude of sales outlets. 
• Work closely with the Supply Trading and Supply Scheduling groups to ensure alignment around inventory strategy, maximizing refining value and communicating refining margin information to all stakeholders. A key deliverable is "making the margins visible" utilizing the refinery LP Petro Model.
• Lead Continuous Improvement including a “deep-dive” look-back process (inclusive of relevant cost of constraints, cost of opportunity and cost of incidents – COIs) to identify opportunities for increased gross margin capture – or focus areas to for risk management - controllables vs. uncontrollable.
• Participate in weekly cross functional team meetings with supply, trading and planning to aid in the development of a commercial view of forward markets - add value from a fundamental perspective.
• Lead the development of the refinery Cost to Produce curves (optimized High Value Product curves) aimed at ensuring alignment throughout the refinery, supply, and marketing channels for term, exchange and spot contract negotiations.
• Lead other supply initiatives including the development of new refinery supply products and special refinery projects.
• Lead Petro Model updates and participate in Refining Planning Tool optimization process improvements.
• Develop and deliver refinery planning and economic training packages to Operations and Technical, thereby enabling improved plan adherence during all times of operation.

As the supply planning group operates in a fast-paced environment that spans both commercial and operational disciplines, the individual must be proficient at multi-tasking.  
• Possess an understanding of the refined products pricing environments and the financial levers available in the refinery operations (both in Area 1, Area 2 and via our coprocessing capabilities).  
• Ability to work on own initiative to develop and implement innovative solutions to business and logistics-based challenges.  
• Influence cross functional teams throughout different business units at an organization on small to large scale projects.
