TAR Event Coordinator

Job summary

The NCE event coordinator is a member of the North Sea Turnaround team and performs Non-cycle ending (NCE) work that can be completely independent from a Turnaround event or directly within a CE (cycle-ending) Turnaround event window. The NCE event coordinator provides leadership and technical expertise, often leading a small to medium sized team of contractors in planning and delivering events.

The TAR Event Coordinator plans and schedules bp and contractor resources to achieve the safe execution of North Sea events. The TAR event coordinator is part of the TAR Event Lead Discipline Team, which is responsible for managing non-cycle and cycle ending turnaround within the North Sea, but may also be deployed to other regions to support based on demand.

The team reporting to the NCE Execution coordinator is composed of planners, schedulers, and execution contractors. All work follows the BP TAR Common Process through the life cycle of the project. Similar to a TAR Event Lead (the senior role in regional TAR teams), the NCE Event Coordinator provides direction and targets for Agile work teams and is responsible for safety, schedule, cost, work quality and achieving unit performance objectives for the smaller events they are assigned.

TAR’s play a critical role in BP’s strategic portfolio. The team is expected to deliver value and savings through efficiently planned and executed events that are in line with the Region’s Area Development Plan. Often times, TAR’s are aligned with other production sheltering opportunities to further reduce production downtime in the Region.

The NCE event coordinator will be supporting the NS region, and based in Aberdeen, Scotland. The role will follow the standard 60/40 (office/home) work protocols that BP has implemented.
