  • Perform audits of unit performance reports and calculations, ensuring technical accuracy and alignment with refinery KPIs.
  • Provide technical support for turnarounds, including scope development and screening, preparation, execution and post-execution performance reviews.
  • Actively contribute to process safety by participating in PHAs, LOPAs, MOCs, and incident investigations.
  • Innovation & Projects :

  • Actively participate in the identification, evaluation and execution of opportunities for process improvements, debottlenecking, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction, supported by strong business cases and economic analyses.
  • Develop and maintain process simulation and unit monitoring models (Aspen HYSYS or equivalent), updating or building models to reflect current operating conditions and support decision-making.
  • Collaborate with catalyst and adsorbent vendors for procurement, lifecycle management, and performance monitoring to maximize unit efficiency and reliability.
  • Develop or update technical toolkits and dashboards for monitoring key performance indicators, ensuring unit health and rapid troubleshooting.
  • Provide support for benchmark studies, including Solomon studies, to maintain competitive performance standards.
  • Leadership & Mentorship :

  • Build and maintain a strong technical network within Parkland and the wider refining community, engaging with industry experts, catalyst suppliers, and technology providers.

  • Humble. Hungry. Smart. Does this sound like you?

    Do others describe you as being a down-to-earth achiever? Someone who thinks outside the box and always strives to do more than what is required. Someone who sees the bigger picture? You sound brilliant to work with!

    We Want You To Shine :

    We are committed to providing equal opportunities to all applicants. If you require accommodation due to a disability, you will have an opportunity to notify us when scheduling your interview.
