Supply Chain Operations – Oil & Gas - Onshore Production Operations Transformation - Manager

The opportunity

We are seeking a manager with deep expertise in onshore upstream production operations to help EY shape the next generation of operating models in oil and gas. As part of our team, you will lead the design and validation of integrated solutions that address the complex challenges of onshore well operations, artificial lift, field optimization, and production efficiency. This is a client-facing, solution‑lead role, ideal for someone with real-world operational knowledge and the ability to convert that insight into innovative business and digital transformation strategies.

You’ll work closely with clients, alliance partners, and EY delivery teams to design future‑ready operating models across the well lifecycle.

Your key responsibilities

As a manager in EY’s Upstream Production Operations team, you will:

Lead the definition of integrated solutions for onshore production optimization, incorporating technical, digital, and organizational levers
Translate field‑level operational constraints into scalable solution designs that improve uptime, reduce LOE, and enable performance transparency
Partner with client stakeholders across production, operations, and digital to validate use cases and shape transformation roadmaps
Act as the solution architect during early stages of pursuits, defining MVP scope, partnering with technology providers, and articulating business value
Drive local market engagement with operators, technology vendors, and OEMs to strengthen EY’s brand and uncover new collaboration opportunities
Collaborate with internal delivery and capability teams to co‑develop toolkits, deployment blueprints, and accelerators for field implementation
Support proposal development, alliance activation, and client presentations as the technical voice behind production operations offerings
Provide delivery handoff and early oversight to ensure continuity of vision, scope, and stakeholder alignment

Skills and attributes for success

Strong knowledge of onshore oil and gas production systems, artificial lift methods, surveillance workflows, and field‑level execution constraints
Ability to think holistically across people, process, data, and technology to design next‑generation production operating models
Practical understanding of field data systems, edge analytics, and real‑time monitoring platforms
Familiarity with digital solutions in the onshore space such as autonomous wells, remote ops centers, AI‑driven lift optimization, and digital twins
Strong communication and storytelling skills with the ability to tailor technical insights for business and field audiences
Client‑facing experience in shaping or selling transformation programs in the oil and gas sector
Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast‑moving client environments

To qualify for the role, you must have

A bachelor’s degree in petroleum engineering, mechanical engineering, or related technical discipline
6–10 years of experience in upstream oil and gas production operations, with a strong focus on onshore unconventional assets
Direct experience working for or with oil and gas operators on production improvement, asset optimization, or digital transformation programs
Exposure to cross‑functional collaboration across production operations, digital technology, supply chain, and maintenance
Demonstrated experience in shaping and defining solutions for operational efficiency or digital enablement

Ideally, you’ll also have

Experience engaging with technology providers (e.g., AVEVA, C3.ai, Cognite, SLB, Honeywell) in shaping production optimization or monitoring solutions
Consulting experience or involvement in multi‑disciplinary transformation projects
Familiarity with LOE optimization, ESG‑related production constraints (e.g., methane management, flaring), and emissions performance reporting
A strong professional network within upstream oil and gas operators or…
