• You’ll 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
• 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

• More than five (5+) years of experience working with ASU, CO₂, or similar plant operations
• Proficient in monitoring plant performance and key KPIs, using data to support operational decisions
• Experience with financial controls, budgeting, and understanding how costs flow through operations
