You’ll track and report on monthly performance metrics like production volumes, costs, utilization, reliability, and environmental impact
You’ll also review and approve all variable cost invoices to ensure everything is accurate financially
There’s a strong stakeholder alignment piece—you’ll help connect the dots between power costs, margins, forecasts, and business impacts across teams
Finally, you’ll interpret contracts and regulations, and lead productivity initiatives—using data and analysis to identify improvement opportunities and track project benefits

What makes you great*

We’re looking for someone with a bachelor’s degree — engineering is ideal — who has a solid technical foundation
You’ll bring about more than five (5+) years of experience working with ASU, CO2, or similar plant operations
You’re comfortable monitoring plant performance and key KPIs, and using that data to support operational decisions
You have experience with financial controls, budgeting, and understanding how costs flow through operations
Energy management experience is a big plus, especially if you’ve worked with electricity markets
You’re strong in Excel and use it regularly for analysis and reporting
You’ve worked on productivity or improvement projects and can clearly explain the cost-benefit impact
Above all, you’re operationally focused, driven to succeed, and have strong interpersonal skills to work across teams
