About the job:
Working as part of the PMC Project Management Team for a portfolio of Energy Transition Projects to be based in Vienna, Austria.
Skills & Responsibilities:
Data Integration and Management:
• Real-Time Data Collection; Capture and integrate data from sensors, drilling rigs, production facilities, pipelines, and other infrastructure into a centralized analytics platform.
• Data Cleaning and Processing; Ensure data quality by removing noise, filling gaps, and preparing data for analysis.
Developing and Maintaining Analytics Models:
• Predictive Maintenance Models: Create and update models to predict equipment failures or pipeline integrity issues, reducing downtime.
• Reservoir and Production Optimization: Develop models that can forecast production, optimize drilling, and manage reservoir performance by analysing well and reservoir data.
• Process Control and Optimization: Use data analytics to enhance process efficiency, reducing energy consumption and operational costs in refining, petrochemical, and upstream operations.
Monitoring and Anomaly Detection:
• Continuous Monitoring; Set up dashboards and alert systems to track real-time operations, identifying deviations from normal behavior.
• Anomaly Detection; Use machine learning and statistical models to detect irregularities in processes or equipment performance that could indicate potential risks.
Collaboration with Operations Teams:
• Work closely with engineers, operators, and field teams to understand operational challenges and provide actionable insights through analytics.
• Translate technical data findings into practical recommendations that can be implemented in field operations.
Reporting and Visualization:
• Dashboards and Reports; Build intuitive dashboards and reports using tools like Power BI, Tableau, or custom-built software to visualize data trends and provide decision support.
Performance Tracking:
• Regularly update performance indicators and provide insights on key metrics like production efficiency, equipment health, and energy usage.
Automation of Data-Driven Decision Making:
• Automate workflows that use real-time data for decision-making, like dynamic equipment setpoints or automated well control based on live analytics results.
In addition to the responsibilities listed herein, the employee may be required to perform other ad-hoc tasks as needed or directed by the supervisor or management. These tasks will be within the reasonable scope of the employee's skills, capabilities, and role within the organization. The intent of this provision is to allow for flexibility and adaptability in meeting the dynamic needs of the organization, ensuring that operational requirements can be met efficiently.
