The supervisor owns project scope from concept through commissioning, drives PSM compliance, and ensures seamless integration with turnaround (TAR) and operations teams-all while developing engineering talent and advancing Ergon's culture of safety, service, and continuous improvement.
Key ResponsibilitiesBuild and maintain a 12–18-month refinery project portfolio prioritized by safety, operability, margin uplift, and energy performance.
Lead project governance: stage-gates, AFEs, basis-of-estimate development, risk/contingency planning, and benefits realization.
Supervise multi-discipline engineering design, ensuring compliance with specifications, MOC requirements, and applicable industry codes and standards.
Translate PHA/HAZOP/LOPA findings into engineered solutions; assure SIS lifecycle requirements and relief system adequacy.
Manage cost, schedule, and change control; maintain monthly forecasts and defend estimates with quantity-based progress.
Select, negotiate, and administer contracting strategies (EPC/CM, unit-rate, T&M, lump sum); steward vendor FAT/SAT activities.
Coordinate procurement processes including RFQs, bid evaluations, ITPs, metallurgy reviews, and documentation requirements.
Lead constructability reviews, tie-in planning, commissioning, and readiness activities to achieve safe and timely RFSU.

Demonstrated success delivering brownfield unit revamps and tie-ins in operating refinery environments.
Strong working knowledge of PSM (29 CFR ), MOC/PSSR processes, PHAs/LOPAs, SIS lifecycle (ISA-84/IEC 61511), and relief systems (API 520/521).
Proficiency with applicable codes and standards (e.g., ASME B31.3, ASME VIII-1, API 2000/2350/650, API 579, NFPA 30, NEC, ISA-84).
Hands-on experience with constructability reviews, field execution planning, vendor surveillance, and commissioning.
Competence with MS Project or Primavera, cost control tools, document control systems, P&IDs, 3D models, and engineering data sheets.
Professional Engineer (PE) license and/or PMP certification.
Experience integrating projects into turnaround windows and supporting tie-in execution.
Familiarity with RBI programs, decoke/energy efficiency initiatives, APC interfaces, or emissions/LDAR project scopes.
Working knowledge of AutoCAD/Plant 3D, Smart Plant/Hexagon, AVEVA, or Power BI for portfolio reporting.
