Linear Programming Engineer Expats

• Develop update and run LP models for existing and new refineries using PIMS software and optimize their operation and configuration to maximize net cash margin.
  
• Also use the LP to identify margin improvement opportunities and develop the economic evaluation of these opportunities.
  
• Conduct rigorous simulation and backcasting using Aspen HYSYS software and compare the simulation results with the actual refinery performance. Identify and analyze the gaps and deviations and propose corrective and preventive actions to improve the accuracy and reliability of the LP models and the refinery operation.
  
• Perform technical and economic evaluation of projects and opportunities using NPV IRR and other financial metrics and support the decisionmaking process from screening through closure. Prioritize and rank the projects and opportunities against investment criteria and downstream strategy
  
• Provide technical advisory support to refinery management and staff on various LP and optimization matters such as crude selection product slate process units and operational constraints. Communicate the LP results and recommendations effectively and persuasively and follow up on the implementation and monitoring of the actions.
  
• Coordinate and collaborate with other GOD engineers and analysts as well as other stakeholders such as refinery engineers planners schedulers and marketers to ensure alignment and integration of the LP models and objectives.
  
• Validate and calibrate the LP models using historical data and refinery test runs and ensure the models reflect the current and future operating conditions and constraints.
  
• Document the model changes and updates and communicate them to the relevant stakeholders.
  
• Support the development and maintenance of the global MPIMS model which integrates all the wholly owned refineries and the global crude and product markets. Use the MPIMS model to optimize the crude allocation and product slate for the global manufacturing network and identify the optimal integration options and market opportunities.
  
• Participate in the LP gatekeeping process for wholly owned refineries and the global MPIMS model and ensure the quality and consistency of the LP models and data. Review and approve the LP model changes and updates submitted by the refinery LP engineers and provide feedback and recommendations as needed
  
• Conduct training and coaching sessions for the refinery LP engineers and other users of the LP models and share the best practices and lessons learned. Develop and update the LP manuals and guidelines and ensure the compliance with the LP standards and procedures.
