About Houston

 

ExxonMobil's state-of-the-art campus north of Houston serves as home to its Upstream, Product Solutions and Low Carbon Solutions businesses and their associated service groups. The facility opened in 2014 and accommodates more than 10,000 employees and visitors.

 

By bringing many global functional groups together, the campus provides employees with the tools and capabilities needed today, and in the future, to achieve business objectives and accelerate the discovery of new resources, technologies and products. It was designed to foster improved collaboration, creativity and innovation and enhance the company’s ability to attract, develop and retain the top talent in the industry.

 

The campus is located in Spring, Texas, on 385 wooded acres immediately to the west of Interstate Highway 45 (I-45), at the intersection of I-45 and the Hardy Toll Road, approximately 25 miles from the cultural vibrancy of downtown Houston.

 

The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world’s top academic, research, and corporate facilities.

What role you will play in our team

 

• Reporting to the Area Project Procurement Manager, the Area PPA is the key point of contact for the brownfield site projects organization in their respective area (e.g. all projects at Baton Rouge brownfield site; all projects in Guyana’s brownfield sites; etc) and serves as the Procurement focal point for all activities relating to contracting/subcontracting, equipment and materials purchasing, expediting, logistics, site materials management activities, and construction
• Depending on project strategy, the Area PPA may oversee the activities of an EPC Procurement and/or in-house Procurement organization
• The Area PPA typically supports multiple smaller value site projects and influences commercial strategies to drive value and capital efficiency while ensuring operational integrity. Given that the Area PPA will typically oversee multiple projects, the Area PPA will also focus on site-specific service contracts and materials agreements to drive efficiencies and cost savings in procurement activities across their portfolio

What you will do

 

The Area PPA supports early phase activities such as development and implementation of internal project materials management and contracting / subcontracting strategies.  As the Project nears execution phase, the Area PPA will shift to oversight of purchasing / subcontracting execution by the EPC contractor and/or in-house procurement group, ensuring effective progression of the endorsed project purchasing and materials management strategies. Thus, focus areas and activities of the Area PPA will shift depending on the current stage of the Project:

 

• Participate in the early project strategy, risk assessment and planning workshops with Project team to define and select strategies such as Project Execution, Contracting Strategy and Materials Management Strategies
• Compile project equipment list and major subcontract list, with associated commercial strategies, aligned bidder(s) lists, target schedules for bid and award, and key evaluation criteria
• Lead efforts to obtain and communicate global market intel and project sourcing best practices to project team; engage with EM Global Procurement (Equipment & Materials, Global Sourcing, etc. to support)
• Finalize Long Lead Equipment (LLE) list and procurement schedule, incorporating considerations such as lead
