Sr Business Analyst | Trading Operations & Data Integration

The ECI Group's Gulf Coast Professional Services Network is seeking an experienced Senior Business Analyst to support the STUSCO Trading Operations Terminal Inventory Management initiative across North America.

This is a Houston based contract position with an estimated duration of 7 weeks from November 13, 2026 - December 31, 2026.

Note:
You must be a US Citizen or Permanent US Resident to qualify for this position.

The initiative covers the STUSCO Trading Operations area and is focused on improving the aggregation, standardisation, integration and reporting of terminal and pipeline information across North America.

The solution is planned to use DTN's Terminal Inventory Management System (TIMS) to aggregate terminal and pipeline data including:

• Liftings
• Opening and closing inventory balances
• Pipeline receipts
• Pipeline schedules
• Other relevant terminal inventory information

The vendor will aggregate data from external supply-point terminals and pipelines and make this information available to Shell through APIs and dashboard capabilities.

The broader solution will convert relevant data into the PIDX (Petroleum Industry Data Exchange) standard for ingestion into the Terminal Cockpit and PDX EDP environments, ultimately enabling internal reporting and dashboard capabilities.

The delivery is structured across multiple phases:

• Phase 1 - 2026: Contracting and implementation of the external SaaS DTN Terminal Inventory Management System (TIMS), initially leveraging the vendor's dashboard capability.
• Phases 2 & 3 - 2027: Integration of terminal data into Terminal Cockpit and PDX and enablement of internal dashboard/reporting capabilities.
• The overall scope covers approximately 239 terminals across North America, comprising 57 Phase 1 terminals plus additional terminal populations planned for subsequent phases.

During the requirement discussion, it was confirmed that the requirement is expected to continue through the end of 2027.

• Lead requirements elicitation and analysis across data, integration and dashboard/reporting capabilities.
• Engage directly with Trading Operations users, particularly operators and schedulers, to understand current processes, information needs and how terminal data is consumed today.

  • US/North America Trading Operations
  • Americas Commercial Operations Transformation
  • North America terminal stakeholders
  • External vendor DTN
  • T&S and IDT global functional teams
• Collaborate with teams supporting Terminal Cockpit (EDP), PDX (EDP), Architecture, ERS, SOM, and Contracts & Procurement.
