Job description

The Plant Supervisor directs and monitors daily plant operations across multiple processing trains to maximize uptime, throughput, and efficiency while maintaining safe operating limits and meeting gas/NGL product specifications. This position supervises operators and relief personnel, leads response to abnormal situations, ensures regulatory and PSM compliance, and coordinates with Maintenance, Engineering, and Gas Control/Scheduling to support 24/7 operations at a remote cryogenic natural gas processing facility.
Duties/Responsibilities:
  • Directs and monitors Processing facility daily operations to maximize uptime, throughput, and efficiency while maintaining safe operating limits and meeting gas/NGL product specifications.
  • Leads response to abnormal situations (alarms, trips, ESD events, product quality excursions), including field verification, stabilization steps, escalation, and post-event review/learning.
  • Plans, schedules, and supervises operator work activities (routine rounds, sampling/spot checks, startup/shutdown lineups, switching sequences where applicable) and ensures proper shift turnover quality.
  • Coordinates with Gas Control/Scheduling and downstream/upstream stakeholders on receipts, nominations, deliveries, and constraints; ensures timely communication of plant capacity changes and outages.
  • Oversees truck loading/LACT activities and NGL/condensate handling to ensure safe transfers, accurate paperwork/records, and compliance with site procedures.
  • Interfaces with Maintenance/Engineering for troubleshooting, prioritization, and execution of repairs and PMs; ensures equipment is properly isolated, tagged, and released, and verifies return-to-service readiness.
  • Owns or supports PSM at the site level; participates in MOCs and PHAs as assigned, validates procedure accuracy, ensures operator training/competency, and supports mechanical integrity and safety-critical equipment testing cadence.
  • Develops and updates Processing facility operating procedures and ensures alignment with control narratives and cause-and-effect logic; drives standardization of checklists and shift logs.
  • Ensures environmental and regulatory compliance: monitors and reports deviations, supports inspections/audits, verifies spill prevention practices, and ensures required notifications and documentation are completed.
  • Manages operating expenses and cost control; supports capital and expense budget preparation and execution, including materials purchasing and contractor coordination.
  • Trains, mentors, and develops Processing facility operators and relief personnel; verifies qualification progress and reinforces expectations for safe, consistent operations.
  • Prepares and reviews regularly scheduled operations reports (daily operating report, downtime summaries, maintenance coordination notes) and communicates plant status to leadership.
  • Participates in safety meetings and serves as an active leader in safety programs; reinforces STOP work authority and drives hazard identification and mitigation.
  • Executes and enforces safe work practices including lockout/tagout, line break, confined space, hot work, and management of simultaneous operations; ensures permit quality and field verification.
  • Maintains operating logs, daily/shift production reporting, and timely communication/notification of environmental deviations, process upsets, or equipment impairments.
  • Provides vacation and other relief for fellow supervisors and shares on-call responsibilities per rotation.
  • Performs other related duties as assigned.

Required Skills/Abilities:
  • Demonstrated working knowledge of natural gas plant process flow and operating limits across multiple processing trains (Trains 1-3), including inlet/front-end separation, stabilization/fractionation, compression, amine treating, NGL handling/storage, and truck loading/LACT operations.
  • Ability to operate and supervise plant processes via DCS (Wonderware preferred), including alarm management, trend review, setpoint/loop monitoring, and coordination of field actions to maintain product specifications and safe operating envelopes.
  • Strong understanding of critical Processing facility equipment groups and typical failure modes, including slug catcher and inlet separation, stabilizer tower/reboiler/condensers/reflux system, overhead compression, centrifugal pumps, air coolers, pressure relief devices, and ESD/shutdown valves.
  • Working knowledge of amine system operations and controls (contactor, flash tank, still/reboiler, reflux and circulation pumps), including recognizing early indicators of foaming, flooding, off-spec treating, and abnormal level/temperature/pressure behavior.
  • Ability to identify operating deviations and take prompt corrective action: respond to alarms, verify field conditions, stabilize unit operation, and escalate per site procedures when deviations could lead to shutdown, off-spec product, or environmental non-compliance.
  • Proficiency in Processing facility documentation use: P&IDs, control narratives, cause-and-effect / shutdown matrices, and supervisory operating manuals; ensures operations are performed in accordance with approved procedures.
  • Compliance with PSM requirements at the Processing facility, including MOC participation, incident learning, operating procedure governance, training/competency, and mechanical integrity support.
  • Strong teamwork, leadership, and communication skills; able to coordinate between DCS/console operations, field operations, maintenance, and management.
  • Computer proficiency in reporting and documentation (daily operating report, downtime tracking, MOC/PSM documentation, maintenance coordination).
  • Ability to make sound decisions during upset and emergency conditions.
  • Available to work a 14 days on / 14 days off schedule, including shifts, holidays, and weekends, with on-call coverage and unscheduled workdays as needed to support 24/7 Processing facility operations and upset response.
  • Maintains strong people skills and professional communication with internal and external stakeholders.

Education and Experience:
  • High school diploma or GED required; additional technical training (process operations, instrumentation, electrical, or mechanics) strongly preferred.
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or similar field preferred.
  • 7+ years of gas plant operations experience preferred, with at least 2+ years in a lead/supervisory role.
  • Multi-train cryogenic plant experience is a plus.
  • Experience supervising operations in a cryogenic natural gas processing facility with stabilization/fractionation, compression, and NGL handling preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with Wonderware (or comparable) DCS control strategies, alarm rationalization practices, and leading responses to trips/ESD events preferred.
  • Familiarity with Processing facility operating documentation such as supervisory operating manuals, control narratives, P&IDs, and cause-and-effect logic preferred.
  • Working knowledge of pressure vessels, relief devices, and safety-critical shutdown devices (PSVs, SDVs/ESD valves) and how they integrate into the plant protection layers preferred.
  • Ability to work with minimal supervision in a remote facility environment and coordinate effectively with Scheduling/Gas Control, Maintenance, I&E, and Engineering.

Certifications:
  • None required
