Execution Planning Engineer

The Execution Planning Engineer supports early project development for green & brownfield upstream unconventional facilities and infrastructure by validating brownfield facility conditions, evaluating facility reuse options, and developing practical execution plans prior to execution. This role partners closely with the Project Development Engineer, Operations, Construction, Project Execution, and technical stakeholders to identify tie-ins, constructability risks, permitting needs, personnel & process safety considerations, and execution constraints before projects transition to a Project Engineer for execution.

• Monitor and lead junior engineers in the development of process design specifications, including the development of heat & material balances, design flow plans, process equipment design, preliminary hydraulic balances, utility balances, basic process control & instrumentation, materials selection, safety facilities
• Lead and/or perform process optimization studies to identify / evaluate capital / operating cost savings, process configuration alternatives, safety facilities requirements, etc.
• Provide technical oversight for engineering contractor's work during front end engineering & design / detailed engineering to ensure consistency with Company methods & guidelines, project specifications & owner's requirements
• Participate in Hazard & Operability Reviews for new / modified facilities / in support of existing plant facilities
• Provide commissioning & start-up assistance for new / modified facilities, as required
• Establish organization and staffing process

Brownfield Verification and Facility Reuse

• 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 needs, and limitations if existing facilities are used for new production.
• Document brownfield verification findings, including impacted systems, tie-in feasibility, facility boundaries, shutdown requirements, and constraints.

Execution Planning and Constructability

• Develop initial execution plans for well pads, tank batteries, facilities, flowlines, tie-ins, and related infrastructure
• Develop detailed pipeline routes and engage Construction to identify constructability concerns, routing risks, access needs, and execution constraints.
• Identify execution risks, demolition needs, shutdown requirements, sequencing considerations, and field conditions that may impact scope, schedule, cost, or safety.

Technical Basis and Field Documentation

• Develop redline P&IDs, plot plans, preliminary routing layouts, tie-in point identification, and field-based planning documentation for brownfield scope.
• Support standard design verification by confirming project concepts align with existing facility conditions, applicable standards, and execution assumptions.

Safety, Permitting, and Execution Readiness

• Perform early process safety risk screenings to identify potential hazards, design considerations, operating impacts, and risk management needs.
• Support Gate Review inputs, Design and Execution Plan development, change documentation, and execution readiness deliverables.

Continuous Improvement and Team Effectiveness

• Contribute to a collaborative team culture built on clarity, ownership, constructive challenge, and trusted partnership.
• Contribute to process improvements that reduce rework, improve handoffs, and strengthen execution readiness.
