The Execution Planning Advisor II supports the early development of greenfield and brownfield upstream unconventional facilities and infrastructure projects. This individual will validate existing facility conditions, evaluate facility-reuse opportunities, develop the technical basis, and prepare practical execution plans before projects transition to a Project Engineer for execution.

The role works closely with Project Development Engineering, Operations, Construction, Project Execution, Central Engineering, Surface Land, Regulatory, Project Controls, Procurement, Supply Chain, and engineering contractors. The Advisor will identify tie-ins, constructability risks, permitting requirements, personnel and process-safety considerations, shutdown needs, and other constraints that could affect safe and efficient execution.

• Support the Project Development Engineer by verifying existing brownfield facility conditions, constraints, capacities, and opportunities for reuse.
• Engage Operations to identify facility considerations, operability concerns, maintainability requirements, equipment limitations, and constraints associated with using existing facilities for new production.
• Document brownfield verification findings, including affected systems, facility boundaries, equipment capacities, tie‑in feasibility, shutdown requirements, and reuse constraints.
• Identify brownfield risks and facility limitations early enough to influence project scope, design, cost, schedule, and execution decisions.

• Develop preliminary execution plans for well pads, tank batteries, production facilities, flowlines, pipelines, tie‑ins, and related infrastructure.
• Develop detailed pipeline routes and engage Construction to identify constructability concerns, routing risks, access requirements, land constraints, and execution limitations.
• Identify demolition requirements, shutdown needs, sequencing considerations, field conditions, and other risks that may affect scope, schedule, cost or safety.
• Establish preliminary execution organizations, staffing requirements, responsibilities, and resource plans appropriate to the project scope.
• Coordinate with Operations and Construction to confirm that proposed execution strategies are practical, safe, maintainable, and constructible.

• Monitor and lead junior engineers in developing process‑design specifications and supporting technical deliverables.
• Develop or oversee heat and material balances, design flow plans, process‑equipment designs, preliminary hydraulic balances, and utility balances.
• Develop or verify the technical basis for basic process controls, instrumentation, materials selection, and required safety facilities.
• Lead or perform process-optimization studies to identify and evaluate process‑configuration alternatives, facility‑reuse opportunities, safety requirements, and potential capital or operating‑cost savings.
• Confirm that project concepts align with existing facility conditions, applicable standards, Company methods and guidelines, project specifications, owner requirements, and established execution assumptions.

• Develop and maintain redlined P&IDs, plot plans, preliminary routing layouts, tie‑in‑point identification, and other field‑based planning documentation for brownfield scopes.
• Prepare reliable field‑verification packages and technical…
