K ’s asset management services are built on decades of engineering knowledge across upstream, midstream, downstream, and petrochemical processes and equipment, with a proven track record as a business partner for operating companies and a practical owner-user perspective for right-sized solutions. This role will draw on K ’s depth of resources, methodologies and tools across the wider business when needed.
