Position Summary
The role is Project Manager within Operated By Others (OBO) Asset Team, reporting to the Lead Project Manager for OBO. The OBO team is responsible for managing non operated projects on an integrated basis across various functional disciplines, with the current key projects being:
1. Jasmine development operated by ConocoPhillips
2. West Franklin Phase 2 development operated by Total
3. Buzzard Major Projects operated by Nexen
The Buzzard field is starting to embark on the next phase of development post base execution, as such there is a significant opportunity to influence the development of one of Europe E&P key assets. In addition there are key strategic projects in the Execute phase including additional living quarters, sand management and produced water treatment upgrades.
This will require work within OBO and across integrated teams, including the co-ordination of support from BG Advance, in order to maximise value to BG. It will require strong stakeholder management, both internally and externally, with the operators and other key partners.
