What’s the role

Trading & Supply (T&S) Organization is the principal trading, supply, distribution and shipping business within the Shell Group that, with approximately 5000 staff working in three Regions, globally, integrates a worldwide network of assets to serve our customers.

The T&S VP Engineering reports to the SVP Distribution Operations, leading a global team of 200+ Engineers, with full accountability on the Reliability and Integrity of all the asset base of Distribution Operations, as well as for Project Delivery. As such the T&S Engineering team is multi-disciplinary and Engineering Management, Discipline Engineering, Project Engineering, Project Services, Process and Technical Safety Engineering and many more disciplines are integrated into a highly efficient and performing team.

As part of the Energy transition, T&S Engineering will take also accountability on the project delivery and on the engineering support for the New Fuels (e.g. LNG, CNG, RNG) as well for the transformation program impacting the T&S asset base (e.g. refinery conversions).

In the above context the “Bamboo” project has been started in the Philippines, which entails the conversion into a terminal of the Tabangao refinery to support the Shell’s Marketing businesses that has a strong track record in the Philippines with accelerated growth plan.

With Shell’s Tabangao refinery being converted into a ‘refined products import terminal’, this provides an opportunity for Shell Pilipinas Corporation (SPC) to convert Tabangao to an Energy Hub; capitalizing on existing infrastructure to the advantage of all COBs. This eventually supports Shell and T&S aspiration of Energy Transition and Carbon reduction. As a result, it is expected that there will be growth opportunities within Tabangao that would be outside of the Bamboo opportunity and outside of the existing Tabangao facilities that will have to be matured.

Given the major project deployment in Tabangao with numerous interfaces (Bamboo, LNG, Tabangao Transition, Demolition, Tabangao Growth Projects and New Energies), the team has piloted Agile ways of working following the SCRUM framework. It is expected that the Tabangao Portfolio Project Engineer will act as SCRUM Master to support the portfolio deliver.

Tabangao Project Engineer will provide project engineering support to all projects within Tabangao.
