Key Requirements – must have all:

Industry Experience – petroleum refining and/or downstream:

- Downstream (petroleum industry) – (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

- The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major sectors: upstream, midstream and downstream.

The downstream sector commonly refers to the refining of petroleum crude oil and the processing and purifying of raw natural gas,[1][2][3] as well as the marketing and distribution of products derived from crude oil and natural gas.

- The downstream sector touches consumers through products such as gasoline or petrol, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel oil, heating oil, fuel oils, lubricants, waxes, asphalt, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as well as hundreds of petrochemicals.

MES application experience – hands on experience:

- A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a control system for managing and monitoring work-in-process on a factory floor.

- An MES keeps track of all manufacturing information in real time, receiving up-to-the-minute data from robots, machine monitors and employees. Although manufacturing execution systems used to operate as self-contained systems, they are increasingly being integrated with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software suites.

- The goal of a manufacturing execution system is to improve productivity and reduce cycle-time, the total time to produce an order.

- By integrating an MES with ERP software, factory managers can be proactive about ensuring the delivery of quality products in a timely, cost-effective manner
