Job Description:

Role Location Open in Denver, Colorado or Houston, Texas

bpx energy, a major oil and gas producer in the United States, leverages its expertise in unconventional gas, including shale, to deliver hydrocarbon production and technical knowledge worldwide. With operations in Texas and Louisiana, our US onshore business has become both a best-in-class oil and gas producer and a leader in reducing methane emissions. As part of BP, a global industry leader, we cultivate a high-energy, high-intensity environment built on accountability, collegiality, and empowerment.

Role Synopsis:

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically astute professional who thrives in a multifaceted, fast-paced environment. This role is responsible for establishing, implementing, and continuously refining the company's Operating Management System, including operational policies, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and guidance documents. The goal is to deliver safe, efficient, reliable, and compliant outcomes across the business.

A key focus of the role is to engage closely with production teams, field personnel, and cross-functional stakeholders to deeply understand their operational needs and challenges. You will interact directly with them to develop practical tools, processes, and standardized approaches that drive consistency, enhance safety performance, and support overall operational excellence. This requires a strong technical foundation, the ability to quickly grasp mechanical principles and how equipment/systems function (even when encountering unfamiliar tasks), and a proactive mindset to translate sophisticated requirements into effective, user-friendly solutions.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes significant initiative, drives for better outcomes, and consistently seeks to over deliver. You will approach problems with an open mind, applying imaginative and innovative thinking when standard approaches fall short, while always prioritizing safety, risk management, and continuous improvement.

Key Accountabilities

• Collaborate closely with office- and field-based production teams, collaborators, and leaders to understand business and operational needs, then develop, refine, and implement standard operating procedures, policies, and guidance documents that cover both field and office activities.
• Engage proactively across the business to maintain, strengthen, and continuously improve the Operating Management System, identifying gaps and driving systemic enhancements that promote safety, standardization, and efficiency.
• Support and streamline the management of change processes for policies, procedures, and guidance documents, ensuring timely, effective, and well-documented updates.
• Collaborate with the Investigation Team to analyze incidents and implement corrective actions on a systemic basis, embedding lessons learned into standards and practices.
• Work with the Process Safety Team to assess risks and enhance policies, procedures, and guidance documents, ensuring controls are practical, robust, and aligned with operational realities.
• Proactively engage key stakeholders to identify management system gaps, develop creative corrective action plans, and drive them to timely completion while supervising progress and measuring impact.
• Support the ongoing management and optimization of the enterprise-wide document management system to ensure accessibility, version control, and usability for all users.
• Cultivate a culture of teamwork and continuous learning by actively sharing lessons learned across disciplines and business functions, then embedding them into bpx standards to achieve organization-wide improvement.
• Demonstrate high initiative and ownership by working towards superior outcomes, seeking opportunities to over deliver, and applying imaginative problem-solving when established methods are insufficient to meet safety, efficiency, or reliability goals.
• Uphold BP's Engineering Principles, align with the BP Code of Conduct, and consistently model BP's Values & Behaviors in all interactions and decision-making.
