Key responsibilities

• Maintain, validate, and continuously enhance the refinery LP model to represent refinery configuration, process unit performance, operational constraints, product specifications, feedstock characteristics, and economic drivers
• Develop and optimize the APS Scheduling model to reflect refinery operation, logistics constraints, inventory management requirements, and scheduling limitations
• Ensure LP and APS models represent current refinery operating constraints and business requirements
• Act as the Production Planning & Scheduling focal point for all LP and APS modelling activities, coordinating with Process Engineering, Operations, and Commercial
• Manage the monthly LP and APS model update cycle, reviewing and validating inputs, assumptions, operating parameters, constraints, and crude data
• Deliver validated and up-to-date LP and APS models within agreed planning and scheduling deadlines
• Implement model updates arising from operational changes, process unit modifications, catalyst changes, and debottlenecking initiatives
• Perform plan-versus-actual analyses, determine root causes, and apply corrective model improvements
• Govern the refinery crude assay database to ensure data accuracy, integrity, completeness, and timely updates
• Support crude evaluations, feedstock flexibility assessments, operational studies, and refinery optimization initiatives
• Conduct LP optimization studies, sensitivity analyses, economic evaluations, and scenario modelling
• Build reporting systems, dashboards, visualization tools, and automated solutions to improve planning and scheduling effectiveness
• Provide model-based insights and recommendations on feedstock selection, planning accuracy, and value improvement opportunities
• Prepare and issue monthly modelling status reports and management updates
• Document model assumptions, operating limits, yields, constraints, methodologies, and change history to support model governance
