About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Maintain data integrity, capacity, and offline event records for individual refinery models and regional balances, utilizing the internal Linear Programming model for tuning.
  • Prioritize the validation and improvement of existing models; data quality and domain expertise are the critical drivers for this role.
  • Lead the effort to backtest and guide models using external data sources (EIA, JODI, IRR, ANP) to ensure outputs align with physical market realities.
  • Apply a deep understanding of distillation, reforming, FCC, and blending to optimize refinery circuit views and regional supply/demand dynamics.
  • Source and leverage large datasets using Python, PostgreSQL and to automate data flows and improve model accuracy.
  • Collaborate with Data, Product, Engineering, and Sales teams to provide insights for refineries product development.
  • Respond to internal and external data requests and client queries in a timely manner.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • At least 3–5 years of experience as a Refinery Economist, Refining Analyst, LP Modeler or related roles.
  • A deep understanding of physical refinery unit operations (Distillation, Reforming, FCC, Blending, etc.) and refinery economics (flows, pricing, regulations, and arbitrage dynamics).
  • Practical experience using industry-standard Linear Programming software (Aspen PIMS, AVEVA Unified/Spiral, or Haverly GRTMPS) is essential to be functional in this role.
  • Comfortable with Python and PostgreSQL.
  • Proven experience sourcing and leveraging external data (EIA/JODI/IRR) to model refineries.
  • Strong background in data-driven modeling, validation, and managing input data integrity (e.g., capacity and offline events).

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of color are less likely than others to apply if they feel like they don’t match 100% of the job requirements.
