What is the role
Basic Data Engineer is a position in the Technology Department reporting to the Manager Operational Excellence providing assurance for the site’s units’ mass balance and providing input and consulting for the site’s fence line hydrocarbon mass balance.
The primary role of Basic Data Engineer will be for assurance of site Basic Data as outlined in the Downstream Manufacturing Standards (DSM) Basic Data Recommended Practices (RP) to improve and then sustain the quality of plant data for application in engineering, planning, scheduling, and accounting tools.
What we need from you
Performs daily execution of the integrated site mass balance on the Data Reconciliation/ Rigorous Online Modelling and Equation Based Optimization (ROMEO) platform and subsequent download of reconciled data to the Plant Information (PI) historian
Collaborates with Operations Support Process Engineers (OSEs)/Unit Technologists, Economics and Scheduling (E&S) personnel, Process Control System and Instrument Engineers, and corporate Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to maintain the model and keep balances within tolerances.
Updates the Process Flow Diagrams for Data Reconciliation / ROMEO model
Leads or assists in evaluation of complex technical issues or opportunities dealing with site mass balance and unit flows, often with multiple disciplines engaged. Assists as appropriate in problem definition and ensuring solutions that arise in site mass balance. Communicates with the appropriate personnel from front lines up to site leadership the status of mass balance problems and issues.
Works with Process Engineering and corporate SMEs to reconcile mass balance and stream property gaps between Non-Linear Process Models and plant. This also includes running of the Data Reconciliation model to support process unit test runs and model tuning
Translates legacy mass balance data and tools from Process Engineering and others to the Data Rec tool and incorporates legacy knowledge into site mass balance work process
Works with E&S to perform Linear Programming (LP) model vs actual yield and track stream properties versus predicted. Ensure stream routings are aligned between plant and model balances
Works with unit Control System Engineers (CSEs) to address and correct unit flow meter issues
Works with the Hydrocarbon Mass Balance (HMB) personnel to provide data and understand site mass balance discrepancies
Works with the HMB and Finance Operations (FINOPS) personnel to assure that data used for HMB is accurate
Supports reporting of Energy Intensity Index (EII) and Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions performance. Ensures consistency of data
Provides overview of Daily Mass Balance for integrated site (Refining and Chemicals)
