• And you’ll coordinate plant downtime—planned or unplanned—including scheduling, backup support, and making sure inventory is managed properly
• You’ll track and report on monthly performance metrics like production volumes, costs, utilization, reliability, and environmental impact
• You’ll also review and approve all variable cost invoices to ensure everything is accurate financially
• There’s a strong stakeholder alignment piece—you’ll help connect the dots between power costs, margins, forecasts, and business impacts across teams
• Finally, you’ll interpret contracts and regulations, and lead productivity initiatives—using data and analysis to identify improvement opportunities and track project benefits

What makes you great*

• We’re looking for someone with a bachelor’s degree — engineering is ideal — who has a solid technical foundation
• You’ll bring about more than five (5+) years of experience working with ASU, CO2, or similar plant operations
• You’re comfortable monitoring plant performance and key KPIs, and using that data to support operational decisions
• You have experience with financial controls, budgeting, and understanding how costs flow through operations
• Energy management experience is a big plus, especially if you’ve worked with electricity markets
• You’re strong in Excel and use it regularly for analysis and reporting
• You’ve worked on productivity or improvement projects and can clearly explain the cost-benefit impact
• Above all, you’re operationally focused, driven to succeed, and have strong interpersonal skills to work across teams
