This role will align to our Supply Chain and Engineering practice, supporting our Energy – Downstream (Refining) and Petrochemical clients.

Accenture Supply Chain and Engineering helps clients leverage AI and digital technologies across product and asset life cycles to build competitive advantage. Within Energy, our Downstream team helps refining and petrochemical operators build, operate and maintain their assets with greater safety and efficiency – bringing together predictive maintenance, intelligent asset management, connected worker solutions, digital twins and advanced analytics on the journey to the Intelligent Refinery.

Turnarounds are the largest planned capital and operating expense events in the life cycle of a refinery or petrochemical plant. With strong margins, refiners are running at maximum capacity and deferring turnarounds as long as they safely can – but every unit must eventually come down, and when it does, time is money. A single day over schedule can cost an operator millions of dollars in lost margin.

Our clients need turnarounds that are planned with precision, executed flawlessly and returned to service in the shortest possible time.

We are building Accenture’s Turnaround Modernization capability to help refining and petrochemical operators reinvent the end-to-end turnaround process with data, AI and digital technology – from AI-assisted scope development and scheduling to connected, real-time execution. We are looking for a Manager who pairs hands-on turnaround experience with a drive to change how turnarounds are delivered, to help lead that build – shaping our offerings, delivering for clients and growing a team of turnaround and technology specialists.
