Job Description Principal - Oil & Gas (Upstream, Midstream & Downstream) - SURE Practice (Execution‑Driven, Digital Transformation Focus) About the Role We are expanding our Energy practice to accelerate digital transformation across the Oil & Gas value chain. As a Principal, you will lead the delivery of mission‑critical digital, data, and automation programs across Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream operations. Your focus will be on execution excellence-guiding teams to design, build, and deploy solutions that enhance operational performance, reliability, efficiency, and safety. You will bring strong operational understanding of O&G combined with practical experience applying digital technologies such as advanced analytics, predictive modeling, optimization, and intelligent automation. The Role You'll Play Digital Transformation Delivery (Execution Focus) * Lead end‑to‑end delivery of digital programs across exploration, drilling, production operations, pipeline operations, terminal management, refining, and downstream logistics. * Translate operational challenges into executable digital solutions-analytics models, automation workflows, optimization tools, real‑time monitoring, and digital worker enablement. * Drive detailed requirements, solution design, development, testing, deployment, and stabilization. * Lead buildout of digital workflows, data‑enabled dashboards, predictive models, and automated decision support tools. * Work directly with client operations, engineering, IT/OT, and field teams to ensure successful implementation and adoption. Project, Program & Agile Leadership * Serve as program lead, project manager, or Agile delivery leader for multi‑million‑dollar transformation programs. * Provide Scrum Master leadership when required-facilitating sprints, ceremonies, backlog refinement, and cross‑team coordination. * Manage scope, schedules, risks, dependencies, financials, and quality across globally distributed teams. * Conduct workshops, solution walkthroughs, and operational readiness assessments with business and technical stakeholders. * Apply Agile, SAFe, hybrid, or waterfall delivery models depending on engagement needs. Digital Enablement & Applied Innovation * Identify and prioritize digital use cases across reliability, safety, throughput improvement, cost optimization, energy efficiency, and emissions management. * Guide development of predictive and prescriptive analytics (e.g., equipment health, well performance, pipeline integrity, refinery yield optimization). * Enable scaling through reusable architectures, data pipelines, automation frameworks, and digital operating models. * Support design of automation‑first solutions such as exception‑based surveillance, events triage, and rules‑based workflow automation (keeping NLP/LLM usage light and relevant). What You'll Bring (Ideally) Experience * Bachelor's degree with ~10 years of progressive experience in consulting or in the Oil & Gas industry (Upstream, Midstream, or Downstream). * Strong experience delivering digital transformation, analytics, or automation programs-not just strategy. * Hands‑on experience with advanced analytics or predictive modeling and exposure to machine learning techniques. * Experience implementing digital workflows, automation solutions, real‑time monitoring, or intelligent operations. * Experience leading distributed teams using Agile or hybrid delivery methodologies. Skills * Strong ability to break down operational problems and drive structured execution. * Proficiency in process analysis, solution design, user story creation, and delivery governance. * Ability to lead client workshops, articulate technology solutions, and oversee field/operations deployment. * Effective communication, stakeholder management, and leadership of delivery teams in a Global Delivery Capacity * Ability to travel extensively. * Candidates authorized to work for any employer in the United States without employer-based visa sponsorship are welcome to apply.
