You’re the expert who sees the bigger picture — and knows how to turn strategy into real-world impact.
As Manufacturing Advisor, you guide our refineries in Europe to perform at their best. From long-term vision to day-to-day performance: your insights set the tone.
You connect teams, align manufacturing plans with strategic goals, and drive improvement across the board. Technical? Absolutely. But just as much about people, performance, and progress.

Continuous improvement: Best practices? You spot them, share them, and help implement them across our refineries and joint ventures.
Bottom line: You make sure we get the most out of every site — today and tomorrow.
