Job Description:
Located at bp's Whiting Refinery in Whiting, Indiana, the OT and DCS team is a highly skilled team of engineers, cyber and systems specialists who are a part of a larger process control team. The OT and DCS Team Lead is accountable to maintain and advance the integrity of distributed control, PLC, safety and operator training systems, which require the ability to work with similar subject matter experts within the central teams as well as other operating assets across the globe. The Team Lead is the single point of accountability for process control digital security for the refinery and is responsible to ensure the site is meeting bp and industry standards.
While this role supports bp's flagship refinery and automation group, this role's leadership extends beyond the automation group and can influence culture and initiatives broadly throughout bp globally. Whiting Refinery is a 24/7, 365 operating facility. While the work schedule is a standard 40-hour Monday to Friday work week, there is also an expectation to be on call or work extended hours throughout peak maintenance or abnormal operating situations. When able, flexible working, back-fill and fatigue management policies are used to compensate for these challenges.
